It does say he is a fine boy below on the page.

Hard to believe his autograph as a young teenager didn't change all that much.

What's the earliest Ruth autograph anyone has seen?

Looks like it was signed yesterday. If its supposed to be from 1908??? Ruth started his playing days in 1914.

I think that date is 1938. It looks like a 3 that just has an awkwardly long upstroke at the end. According to an article I found Ruth was at Polo Grounds on that day introducing some attractions for the Worlds Fair. That style of signature would seem to fit that date. I like it.

It’s definitrly Supposed to be 38, not 08.

I saw this one on eBay after it closed and thought it was authentic, and someone got a good price. wish I had saw it while it was still for sale I would have bought it. It looks like a good Ruth, and also had some other notable signatures like Mel Ott, James Braddock, Jack Dempsey, etc. A nice pickup if you got it.

Thanks Jeff. I did not win it or see it when on eBay unfortunately. Just looking for opinions on it.

100% good. Nice bold signature. It’s a shame someone added the date, etc. directly below it. But good nonetheless.
