Item Description
7.5x9.5" glossy photo w/text "Cigarros Trinidad y Hno/Ruth y Hornsby." From a rare set of at least five different, see items #1241-1242. Superb image of the two HOF legends shaking hands at the 1926 World Series. The Cardinals defeated the Yankees 4-3. Hornsby, who was player/manager of the Cards, tagged out Babe Ruth on a stolen base attempt, ending the Series and giving St. Louis its first World Series championship. Top right margin has .25x1.25" streak of missing surface paper on the white border but this blends somewhat and in no way has any impact on the image area. Lt. handling wear mostly only visible in reflected light. Remains totally bright and glossy. Fine. An exceptional item featuring two of the biggest stars the game has ever known. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA.
