I am being offered this signature, which is authenticated. It just doesn't look very Kosher to me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance...

If I read correctly...
"This item was signed in the presence of an Autograph Certification Experts representative..."

So how long has this company been in business? I don't think Ruth has been signing the last few years.

I think Priddy got it in person when he was a little boy. Even I didn't realize that Priddy was that old..

Hahaha!!!

Two words, two shades. Suggests a halftime break.

The loop in the first leg of the R, looks slowly written.

Good luck with it.

In my opinion, it looks like a ham sandwich with a side order of bacon.

If I am not mistaken, isn't that the way Mrs. Babe Ruth signed her R's when she was signing for him in 1948?

Default Ruth Signature
This signature looks bad to me as well. As for the signed in presence on his LOA I think he just made a typo from one of his letters that he would give out for an autograph he witnessed being signed. Here is an example of a dead on Ruth that Justin did for us that a customer walked into a show and he authenticated on site.

Default R
The "R" looks more like it should in this letter but this is the most forged signature out there. The hand writing does help to compair with the letters in his signature.

In a world dominated by PSA/DNA and JSA, having anything authenticated by someone else would prove perhaps that it was shown to the previous two, and it failed.

Oh man on those Jeters. Keep up the good work Justin!

Frank, do you really feel that the Babe Ruth you posted (the one authenticated by ACE) is authentic?

Default A.C.E. certs in upcoming Huggins & Scott auction
I noticed today that Huggins & Scott has 4 items (at least) in their upcoming auction that are authenticated by Justin Priddy, including Cy Young, Hornsby, Speaker, Wagner cuts. H&S are very good people who clearly do not know what they are about to do their reputation.

Having read this thread through I feel as though I need to find the nearest fire hydrant, uncork it, stick my head in the stream, and blast away the sleaze. What a business...

I sent them an email pointing them to the threads over here about ACE.
