Babe Ruth Autographed Ball: A Truly Unique Piece of Baseball Memorabilia

But it was signed by Babe Ruth!

WHAT!WHAT!

The Sultan of Swat!

The King of Crash!

The Colossus of Clout!

BABE RUTH!

THE GREAT BAMBINO!

Well you don't see this every day...

Dean's Cards has recently put up for sale this beautiful piece of baseball history.  This Babe Ruth Autographed Baseball was originally purchased in an auction around 10 years ago.  At that time, the owner commissioned an artist to paint a portrait of the Sultan of Swat underneath his signature.  The colorful portrait of Babe Ruth adds to the attractiveness of this ball, and makes this a truly unique piece of baseball memorabilia!

This autographed baseball would make for a great display item, and definitely give you bragging rights over your friends.  The signature is very clean and visible on the ball.  It has been certified authentic by both PSA and JSA, and if purchased, will come with a certificate of authenticity.

Is your wife or girlfriend still looking for birthday gift ideas to get you?  Just think...for a "measley"  $24k you have the Babe's ball in your man cave!  And not only is it an autographed baseball, this is a work of art, celebrating one of baseball's most beloved heroes.

DeansCards.com also has an assortment of other Autographed Memorabilia and Autographed Cards for sale.  If you are interested in buying Babe Ruth cards, check out 1933 Goudey Baseball Cards, 1952 Topps Look N' See Cards, and 1961 Fleer Baseball Cards.  There's also various magazines and publications bearing the likeness of the Bambino to choose from.

The 70th Anniversary of "The Streak"

Joltin' Joe.  

The Yankee Clipper.  

Joseph Paul DiMaggio.  

Whatever name you choose to use, this is the hero of a whole generation of baseball fans.  This past weekend, on July 16, commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of a hitting streak likely never to be seen again.

# 274 Joe DiMaggio XRC - 1938 Goudey Heads Up

In 1941, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio reeled off a string of hitting in 56 straight games. Amazingly enough, after "The Streak" ended, DiMaggio would start another 16-game hitting streak his next appearance.  This means that the Yankee Clipper would have a hit in an astonishing 72 out of 73 games!

# 1 Joe DiMaggio - 1940 Play Ball Autographed Card

Our most prized piece of Yankee Clipper memorabilia would have to be this 1940 Play Ball Baseball card, signed by DiMaggio himself. Not to say that this is the only beautiful and nostalgic DiMaggio item for sale.  Dean's Cards also has Joe DiMaggio Goudey cards, Joe DiMaggio Topps Cards, and Joe DiMaggio Upper Deck Cards for sale.  We also have an extensive offering of Joe DiMaggio old Sporting News, Who's Who, Baseball Digest, Street & Smith's Baseball Yearbook, and Sports Illustrated magazines.
