1930 large format photograph featuring Babe Ruth tossing at Yankees spring camp in St. Petersburg, FL. A fantastic full-length rendering of the 35-year-old Bambino in his usual spring garb of pinstriped pants, a white top, and white socks. 8" x 10" example with some toning apparent around the perimeter and an obvious dark stain at the right edge. Handling wear typical of news service photos is present, including small tears at top edge and creasing to corners. Verso includes credit stamping from the Associated Press and their full paper caption remains affixed at the top. The affixed paper caption has been dated to 3/4/30, just four days prior to Ruth signing the $160,000 contract that would make him the highest paid player in baseball history. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
