Tremendous tri-fold advertising sign pairs America's two great passions: baseball and chewing tobacco. They couldn't have picked a more imposing sight--the massive expanse of Yankee Stadium's center field is seemingly endless. Right field still looks tantalizingly short though, and that's a good thing, because one can easily recognize the Babe at the plate, ready to drop one into the photographer's lap. A few holes and typical wear for a piece of this age grade this rarity out at a technical VG, though the overall eye appeal is far greater than this. If this isn't the thing that catches the most eyes in your trophy room, then you must have a lot of great stuff. Colors and details are absolutely captivating. In size and intrigue, few pieces could beat this.
