This is an original 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" signed type 1 photo of Babe Ruth. The picture is as good as it gets for subject matter. On the back it is dated April 14, 1928 with what appears to be some adhesive from long ago. The photo has its imperfections of almost flaking but having it encapsulated will prevent it getting any worse.
 
It comes fully authenticatedand encapsulated by Beckett.
