Default Babe Ruth Autographed Worlds Fair Baseball Instruction Laurel Card

1939 New York Worlds fair Laurel Card, signed boldly in black fountain pen by Babe Ruth. If you have been looking for a Ruth signature on something unique, this is it. Ruth taught a class (I believe for a day or two) at the fair that year, giving baseball instruction to kids (other players taught different days I believe, as I saw a Dimaggio one long ago). I purchased this from the original owner who attended the training session himself (Chris Franks), which is who the card is made out to. Lots of folds and "love" (I believe it was carried around in a wallet for many years), and a little bit of paperloss just around some of the letters of Ruth and the sides and back, otherwise it presents beautifully. I bought it originally because I found it so much more unique then a signed cut or photo. Full guarantee on the autograph for life, and feel free to have whoever you trust to look at it. $3000 (and I don't think it's going to last long at this price). The only other one I saw sold in REA for over $5200 six years ago, though it was in nicer shape. PM if interested.
