Default Thoughts on this Ruth Auto

Posted By: Rhys

That is the tallest second "b" in Babe I have ever seen in 20 years of collecting.

I think what Hunts is talking about is that Babe had a very vertical signature, up and down hard strokes and because of that the letters should not line up perfectly on the bottom like someone who has a smooth vertical style signature. Babe Ruth is one of those that I stay away from completely unless it is an autograph book or is from someone I really trust because there are just too many fakes. The one I have now is smudged and not the best looking example in the world but I KNOW it is real because of the way it was aquired and that is worth more than a nicer condition one any day.
