Babe's signature has always struck me as a thing of beauty. I love it when someone signs with a real definitive and attractive style.
Finding a gem mint example of his signature on a white ball, highest graded— with ironclad provenance... it was more daydream than actual collecting goal. Can't believe it happened. Still hasn't sunk in.
This piece caused some tectonic shifts in my collection, yet as I am sure we have all encountered in our collecting journeys, we have to sometimes gives up great pieces to get one even greater piece.
