Seriously? Maybe I'm just sick of forgeries and the people who put them out into the marketplace to lure an unsuspecting buyer. That to me is about as rude as it gets.

This "fish" story reeks. The signature on that baseball is indicative of a modern, very poorly done, forgery. No way is it a clubhouse Ruth. And it does not appear to be a situation where that signature has been on the ball for 80 or 90 years, though I would not say that for certain without at least having the ball in hand.

As for Scott, you're so smart. I wish I was as smart as you. I wish I could prove to everyone how smart I am. Unfortunately for me, I'm just a small fish and will have to swim in the small pool for ever and ever. Does that make you feel better and validate you more? |

Lets see he's a new member and came here and asked a SIMPLE question of whether the auto was good or not. He didn't come here trying to sell the baseball to a member and passing it off as being a legit Ruth. But instead you guys just attack him and accuse him of nothing but lies and everything. When in all fact, maybe his story is legit.
Yeah forgeries are a sh*tty part of this hobby and so are all the lies and stuff. But it still doesn't give anyone the right to accuse others of lies and stuff!

Again.....seriously? People attach all kinds of neat stories to things all the time to affirm their value. I'm not saying that the poster did, but someone has or had a good imagination.

I came on this board hoping that maybe someone would reconize the signature and could possibly identify who actually signed the ball and a timeframe of when the ball was signed. I have no doubt in my mind that the ball was signed in the 30's sometime, however I agree that it was not Babe Ruth who signed the ball. I am going to assume now (because no one else here recognizes the signature) that the person who gave the ball to my wife's grandfather is the person who signed the ball or maybe it is a clubhouse ball from someone who received a request for Ruth's signature and they just signed the ball themselves. I would doubt during that time period, that Offical American League baseballs were available at any drugstore (I could be wrong though), so I doubt many people were forging Ruth's signature for profit in the 30's.

Perhaps you think too much of human nature but many of us on this forum try to look at a story and determine if it is true or false. We just do not take it on face value.
