Baseball Signed by Babe Ruth, 1939 Baseball HOF Inductees Sells for Record $623K
A baseball signed by Babe Ruth, Cy Young, Ty Cobb and more unsurprisingly set a record price for the most expensive signed baseball ever sold.
The ball, which was signed by 11 of the 12 men of the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame class in 1939, sold for $623,369, according to SCP Auctions.
Joe Orlando of Collectors Universe provided a look at the baseball:
