Extraordinary pairing of pencil signatures, “Sincerely, Babe Ruth” and “Best wishes, Tris Speaker,” on a light green 5.5 x 4.5 album page. In fine condition, with a bit of trivial soiling. It is likely that this was signed in 1943–44, when Ruth and Speaker toured the country to promote war bonds. One of the greatest events was the All-Star War Bond Game on August 26, 1943, played at the Polo Grounds with the price of admission being a $25 war bond. Speaker and Ruth both attended to take part in the ‘Tableau of Yesterday,’ which also featured the likes of Honus Wagner and Walter Johnson. A fantastic and infrequently seen pairing of two of the greatest hitters in baseball history. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
