The second "b" in Babe should always be the largest letter in the signature.
The first "B" finishing stroke, doesn't look quite right.
The "e" in Babe does not look like a normal e.
The finishing pen strokes for the "h" in Ruth, should have heavy pen pressure and sometimes forms an ink ball.
The quotes are around "Bab" not around "Babe" - not consistent with other signatures
The card is a 1928 exhibit, Ruth basically stopped using quotes before this time on his signature.
The length of the crossing in the "t" is exceedingly long, should end near the finish of the "h"
