Hello. Just recently joined after reading a lot of he discussions, I found it appealing and informative. I do hope to contribute as I get more familiar
I want to start with a recently acquired (by far my largest investment) 1929 NYY signed ball. Ball has a cert, and I'll discuss that later, but, as I have read over the past few months, PSA, JSA, etc are far from infallible, and sometimes their allegiances/motives have been questioned. I see that there are enough knowledgeable folks where a reasonable discussion can be started. I'll start with the Ruth signature. The ball is not in the greatest of condition, as it appears some prior owner saw it fit to play with it. I have spent a fair amount of time studying signatures, and would like to get other points of view. I hope to learn and also hope to give back some. Here is the Ruth sweet spot side. Comments and feedback appreciated. (You should be able to see all sides, but I will post other links as needed)
Again, looking for feedback on what you see. Specifically: is the Ruth auto legitimate? What are the features that drive one to a conclusion?
