Bold vintage fountain pen signature, “Sincerely, Babe Ruth,” on a 5.5 x 2.75 blue card from the Albert R. Chestnut collection, dated in another hand May 4, 1935. In fine condition, attached to a slightly larger black card, with a small photo attached to the left blank area and tiny smudge to the bottom of the “B” in “Babe.” From his Pennsylvania home, Chestnut, a printer by profession, began collecting autographs in 1935. He sent these personally-printed cards to over a thousand celebrities and received favorable replies from the vast majority, finally retiring from collecting to raise his family when postage increased from 2¢ per card!
