EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE BABE RUTH AND THE NEW YORK YANKEES REAL PHOTO POSTCARD C.1924 (SGC: AUTHENTIC)

Sepia toned real photo postcard showing uniformed members of the New York Yankees with Babe Ruth featured prominently at the center. "The Babe" appears in a straw hat in what was clearly a lighthearted moment for the team. A lengthy handwritten note on the back is dated September 12, 1924 and there was a postmarked applied upon mailing the day after. The postcard has mild rounding to corners and some other general handling wear with the central image portion remaining largely unaffected. The first example of this image which we have seen and considered among advanced postcard collectors as one of the holy grails for the medium. Authenticated and encapsulated by SGC: SGC "A" (Authentic)
