Seeking opinions on Ruth autograph
 
I'm curious what forum members think of the following Babe Ruth autograph:

Michael, if I had to give a definitive answer, no hedging, I would say 'good'.

I'm no Ruth expert, but I also have avoided giving definitive thoughts on Ruth autographs, so there goes nothing.

It would also not surprise me if you showed a photo of the entire ball, and it had a stamp with Selig's name. There are a lot of good Ruth forgers out there, which is why I don't trust any Ruth autographs without 'provenance'.

I would also say good.

I moved this to the autograph forum so maybe a few more folks could chime in. I am no autograph guy (at all) but it's not a crazy looking one anyway :eek:.

Thanks Leon.

For what it's worth, I feel pretty good about this Ruth auto. Is it single signed or other signatures on it?

That one looks good.

I think Scott read my mind with this reply!

Yes. There are a variety of different signatures but I am most concerned with the Ruth.
