Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>I did email the guy to let him know that these cards were reprinted after Ruth died. Hopefully he will listen.

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>one of the better Ruth forgery signatures from some of the others that've appeared on ebay! At least someone took the time to study the signature a little and use a fountain pen!

Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>The seller pulled the auction. I guess he got my email. <br /><br />Damn, I guess my hopes that the Babe was still alive has been dashed:)

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>Agreed. Appears to have been an honest mistake. In a painless way (relative to if the item had been sold), he (or she or them) had an invaluable lessen about selling autographs on consignment. Next time a consignor hands him the autograph of Ronald Reagan or Syd Barrett, he'll think harder.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.cycleback.com/conceits/nineteen_files/image004.gif"><br />'Syd isn't up to signing today'

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Was also gonna say that is one of the better looking fake Ruth's I've seen.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>Recently there was a fistfight between fans and players at a professional basketball game. Not to be outdone, the National Hockey League has announced that when they resume their season, not only will several fans be beaten every period, but one lucky fan each game will be run over by the Zamboni.
