Posted By: <b>Richard Simon</b><p>1. in your estimation, what percentage of legit Ruth sigs exist that were signed with just "Sincerely", and not personalized? <br />ans - Ruth certainly favored personalizing, I would guestimate MAYBE 25-30%, but that is only a guess, others might disagree.<br /><br />2. What is the likelyhood that Nap Lajoie would sign a 3x5 in 1950 with a ballpoint pen? <br />ans - Ballpoint pens were around in 1950 but they had not been around for very long. He had a window of opportunity to sign with ballpoint, but not a big window. He liked to sign and date his autograph.<br /><br />3. Was it ever revealed as to who was buying all those fake autographs for UDA after They stopped using K.Keating?<br />ans - As far as I know they did not stop using Kevin Keating, they just started to buy from other dealers also. I don't know the name(s) of the people involved in buying for UD. I do know that Shelly exposed a UD card that sold for $85,000 with four autographs on it, two that were fake.<br />--<br /><br /><br />I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.<br />Unknown author <br />--<br />We made a promise.
