[GoldenAge50s]

I am posting this copy from the EBay Sports Board w/ the 2 photos the writer included:

What do you think as to authenticity? I have already voiced an opinion, but I figured you guys would be much more appropriate to ask!

I recently acquired an autograph album with about 70 autographs. There was a Jim Braddock and a Babe Ruth. All others are Hollywood-type autographs. From the names in the album, I believe it dates from the late 1930's to the early 1940's. Most people have disappeared into history but there is a Jack Benny and a Bob Hope, along with Dorothy Arnold DiMaggio, Joe's first wife. Everything is period with look, age, etc consistent throughout. Everything about the album says the Ruth auto is legit. At face value, I believe it is. However, I can't remember seeing a Ruth auto where the "u" in Ruth is looped. I did have the opportunity to show it to a man who is an autograph specialist with a major auction house. He said he was 50/50 on it and asked that I send him a scan this week so he could study it more. Here are two scans of the autograph. The first are the facing pages of the album, the second a close up. I welcome opinions. Thanks.
