[QUOTE=NAH;1840181]Hi All, I'm new to the forum and have a question for any Babe Ruth Auto collectors in the group. I'm considering making an offer on this Babe Ruth cut signature... should I be concerned about authenticity at all? I know it's certified by Donruss/Beckett but I would probably trust it more if it were Topps/PSA. Thoughts?

I would like to echo the point about BGS vs BAS and you need to proceed with caution. This card is in an old BGS holder and was probably done several years ago. In the mid 2000s it was found that card companies were not having their cut autographs properly authenticated and some fakes were put into cards. This card has to be regraded by Beckett Authentication or PSA for the autograph authentication. It may be real but I wouldn’t be secure buying it.
Aside from that, Ruth autos from card companies have been selling in the 7500-16000 range so 12k obo is a fair price. Probably toward the lower end since it is not framed well with several parts of the autograph being cut off.
