1-of-1 Babe Ruth Handwriting Relic Fragment — “Honorée”
1-of-1 Babe Ruth Handwriting Relic Fragment — “Honorée”
This is not just a piece of handwriting. It’s a rare, research-backed fragment of what appears to be a ceremonial Babe Ruth letter, written in formal French — and you’re holding the cornerstone fragment.
This Eternal “Authentic History Relic” card features the handwritten word “honorée…” (“honored” in French), in authentic period cursive on cream parchment using dark ink. After a deep forensic and linguistic analysis, this fragment was found to visually and contextually match at least five other Eternal relic cards, all pulled from the same original document — a ceremonial, likely honorary letter.
🧩 Reconstructed Narrative from Matched Cards
Across the six matched fragments, including this one, the following reconstructed text has emerged:
“Je vous informe que vous êtes une communauté honorée pour vos grandes qualités. Je veux exprimer ma gratitude à la compagnie...”
(“I inform you that you are an honored community for your great qualities. I wish to express my gratitude to the company...”)
Your card — “honorée” — likely comes mid-sentence, bridging the formal statement of recognition and Ruth’s expression of thanks.
