babe ruth autograph

[brettalan98]

Came across this recently. Notice that Babe is in quotations. Anybody have a clue what it's worth?

picture is too small

I figured that, but they won't let you post anything bigger than 78.1 K. The original on my desktop is about 30" wide

If you have an email, I can send you the bigger photo

It is too small to see, and I'm no Ruth expert, but I would be very wary of the authenticity of this item. I have seen several of this type of auto appear in the market recently (an envelope or postcard seemingly unrelated to a player, but with an authentic postmark and a high dollar player's auto in an open space) and all of them have been fakes. Just a warning.

Please post a larger scan or photo of the auto itself. Several people here know Ruth's auto well.

It's worth nothing.

thanks for all the info. A friend of mine bought this at a charity auction for $350 and thought his ship had come in. Hate to tell him it was the Titannic
