I do not for the life of me understand how anyone, irrespective of their "expertise," could say whether that is Babe Ruth's signature on the ball or not unless they saw him sign it. I sign my name many times a day and I am sure I don't do it exactly the same way each time. I am sure it is the same for everybody. At best, then, we know GENERALLY what Ruth's signature looked like, but how difficult could it be for someone to sign a replica that falls within the range of the normal variation in Ruth's signature? Perhaps there is an answer, but it eludes my common sense.
