Terrible Babe Ruth signatures
 

Has anyone noticed the surplus of terrible looking vintage autographs that have hit the market lately? I have been running into them all over the place. All high end items. They all look similar to the coach's corner stuff, only it looks like the crooks have a found a new authenticator....Check some of them out, I copied and pasted a few below. This is very sad, hundreds of these floating around everywhere from places like - craigslist, ebay and most of the smaller auction houses that don't have strict authentication policies.

Yup, looks like ACE has been busy looking at stuff and cashing checks.

Love the disclaimer on the Honus Wagner ball, "if you wanted to get this one graded you could but there is no reason you need to unless you wanted to add to the value of the ball." I would laugh, if it wasn't so sad.

Good god the ink on some of those is still wet
