The ruth signature on the 500 homerun sheet looks exactly from the same hand as the ruth signatures that accompany the babe ruth hair. all fake, and all from the same hand, but from difference sources according to halper?
halper says he got the ruth signature on the 500 homerun sheet from ruth himself at babe ruth day at the stadium, then he says he got the sheet from his father and it had babe ruth's signature already on it.
then he says he traded some custer hair for the babe ruth hair from a collector in iowa, but all the signatures look the same, from the same hand, and a fourth signature from that same hand, which is not ruth's by the way, shows up on the cover of herman darvicks autograph book. The only four signatures of ruth that look crazy like that, and jsa calls the ruth hair signatures "non malicious secretarials, when no others from that secretary can be found other than these? The shortest tenured secretary in the history of baseball i suppose.
halper says he got the jimmie foxx and mel ott signature in foxx's office, and then he says he got them on the ball field instead. he has an alternate story for everything. halper was not an innocent dupe. and then it was found out that when he attended Miami, foxx wasn't even there as coach, having left the season before, and not only has no evidence been unearthed that halper ever played on the miami ball club, but the captain of the club says no one named halper played when he played for foxx, but halper was duped? c'mon. Wake up and smell the pine tar! I think Madoff of Memorabilia is quite appropriate for halper.
