8" x 10" news service photo of southpaw George Herman Ruth pitching for the Boston Red Sox during his rookie season of 1915. Type I rookie photos depicting Ruth are unquestionably among the most desired originals in the hobby today and routinely achieve over six figures when offered. This Type IV example of the Babe, produced from a duplicate negative, presents a far more affordable option. Photo print itself dates to sometime between 1958-62 as evidenced by credit stamping from United Press International on verso. UPI first formed in 1958 and their stamping here does not display a zip code; a concept not widely utilized until 1963. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type IV photo by PSA/DNA.
