Ted Williams autographed 20" X 24" color photo of a youthful Williams shaking hands with Babe Ruth. Such autographed color photo is framed and double matted accompanied with a JSA GRADED PERFECT 10 Letter of Authenticity (LOA). Ted Williams is pictured wearing THE CLASSIC "HEALTH PATCH" adorned BOSTON road uniform.
Such "Health" patch was affixed to Boston jerseys for ONLY the 1942 season. Wartime sleeve patches were worn by all levels of professional baseball teams. The Health patch was only worn for the 1942 season, part of a health and fitness awareness campaign. The 1942 season was Ted Williams' FIRST OF TWO TRIPLE CROWN SEASONS for Ted Williams.This color photograph documents the FIRST meeting between Baseball Titans, HOF Ted Williams, and HOF Babe Ruth. The wood composite frame and double matted measures 30"x 34" and is in excellent condition. This item has been stored in an A/C storage unit facility since I received as a Christmas gift back in the late'90s or early 2000s.
Thus, this item has not been exposed to light nor touched for approximately 25 years... Until I just recently submitted to James Spence Authentication (JSA) for their respective review and ultimate independent autograph authentication AND GRADED.
To that end, per the attached color photos, JSA issued their pictured JSA GRADED LOA on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. The autograph GRADED A PERFECT 10! The Certification Number is as follows: XX57774.
Since the item was framed and behind glass already, the JSA autograph seal is attached to the respective JSA GRADED LOA, which is the usual and customary practice for framed/glass enclosed items. The PERFECT JSA GRADED 10 Ted Williams' autograph is in blue fiber-tip sharpie marker.I have completed a current Google Search and I find absolutely no other offering of this color photo autographed by Ted Williams AND OFFERS a PERFECT 10 JSA GRADE LOA as well! THIS IS TRULY AN INVESTMENT QUALITY COLLECTIBLE!
It will be a FINE ADDITION to any business, sports bar, an office, den man-cave, and / or she-shed and can immediately be hung upon arrival.
