A gentleman recently visited my store a few days ago bringing with him a Ruth & Gehrig signed baseball he assumes signed for this 1930 barnstorming game in NJ.
Question?--Although in fair condition at best-any ideals with having the 1930 baseball game stub might add to a signed baseball's value.
Thanks.

My guess would be 'zero', since you have to sell the provenance link and there are a zillion Ruth stories like that. Which reminds me - I'm curious if that film of Ruth signing a ball actually helped sell it. There was no solid link between the film and ball, other than the consignor's story, but the AH really played it up.

Now, on the other hand, If the guy brought the items to me, and I really believed his story and got a fair price - I would grab it, and possibly keep it forever.

Please show us a picture of the baseball.
