Picked up a neat Babe Ruth signed photo tonight

Well, I think I was high bidder on this tonight. With Heritage's different formats, it's hard for this old man to tell sometime, LOL. It says I'm high bidder and internet extended bidding on the lot is over, so I believe that means I took care of business image

Beautiful 8x10 of the legendary Bambino signed with racial overtones (I'm Mexican/American myself and not offended so sorry if anyone else is)

I think I'll celebrate by going to New York this weekend and partying image

My first Ruth signed photo. Comes with full PSA/DNA LOA and auction JSA LOA.

    Congratulations! Is this the first Ruth signed item in your collection (I noticed you said photo)? With your collection it's hard for me to believe that this is a first for you!

    Curious, what does the inscription say? I can't make out the word after "Mexican"

    Best,

    Thanks Patrick,

    About 15 years ago I had a Ruth signed check and a couple years back I had a Ruth cut, but I bought those to sell and moved those out already.

    I bought this one for my own collection. After "Mexican" it says "Beans".

    Doesn't look like that to me. Looks like Brau or something. Second letter is exactly like the r in another word.

    Awesome Mike, congrats!

    That is a wonderful piece Mike. I myself want to own a signed Babe Ruth Check. I think that would be a great item to have in a collection as well. Your item will certainly look great framed. Update us one you have this framed and hung up. Would love to see where this ends up.

    Great piece, I think it is "Braus" and meant like "Mexcian brothers/dudes, etc."

    Look at the e in babe (also in friends, Joe, and Mexican), and look at the second letter in what you say is Brau. Ruth made his e that way, and it sometimes looks like an r.

    Now if you wanna say that it reads "Good Mexican Beau's" - that's different.

    Do we know anything about Terry and Joe? Did they sell food (maybe even at the stadium Ruth played)? Would be cool to figure out the history behind this piece.
  • itzagoneritzagoner Posts: 8,753 ✭✭
    it's "Bean's".

    so, was he complimenting their cooking skills? or did he forget to finish his thought with regards to the quality of preparation as in "Good Mexican Bean Is......"

    or maybe, JUST MAYBE, he was using perfect grammatical skills (ya right?) in his gifting of Good Mexican Bean's to THEM.

    his friends'.

    I have no idea, LOL. It is like the old lady and the young lady pic and if you stare at it enough you can see the both of them....it is just what do you see first?

    Having an autographed Ruth piece is awesome, but that grammar would drive me insane.

    Even the Babe didn't know how to use apostrophes correctly. image

    I don't know if I want the Ruth or that cake!

    Congratulations Mike!

    I've always wanted his sig - now can't afford it.

    Interesting about the inscription - I inferred that he ate over their place and he like the food. They may have had a Mexican restaurant or something?

    Buy of the year here for me.
