Hi guys, new to the forum, but I have been collecting vintage baseball gloves, Spalding guides ect. for close to 30 years. I need some help on a Babe Ruth underwear box top. I bought a Babe Ruth autograph on a BR box top. I bought if off a picture on e-bay that came with a letter of Authenticity. I thought that it was a full size box top from the picture (aprox 10" x 10") However when I received it, it was much smaller. I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a smaller size underwear box top. The one I bought is about 4.5" x 5.5" Also the letter of Authenticity which also had a photo on e-bay, and I assumed was the original--was a photocopy which mentions the box top, but not the size. Seems very shaky. Any opinions guys, thanks for you help. Gary

I assume this is the item you are talking about.

if it is, it is fake. The signature is no good, the print quality is poor.. plain and simple its all wrong.

Hi Matt, thanks for your input That was not the item. I am not sure how to input the links on here, the link may work below, but as this is my 1st time, I am not sure. Sorry. But if you search for the finished listing under "Babe Ruth Autograph from1929" you should find it. Thanks for your help---Gary
