Babe Ruth help, please

This is not my autograph, but I know where to go to see if it is likely authentic. Please let me know your thoughts so I can pass your comments along to the owner.

Thanks for your help.Screenshot_20220304-133031_eBay.jpg

It just doesn't look right to me.

Some of the curves don't look natural, and some of the letters look to be "constructed".

Not authentic IMO.

Thank you. I'll pass that very constructive feedback along. I felt uncomfortable with it too, but wanted to get confirmation from the experts on this board. Thanks again.

Not a chance. Look at some ruth hand written checks..All the numbers are wrong.

Agree with all the comments above, those folks are better at this than me. One thing really stands out to me as not being authentic and that is the transition between the 'R' and the 'u'. That link does not look natural and to me appears to maybe have been added after the first attempt of the auto.

I agree with all of the comments. Many thanks for sharing your opinions.

There is no link between the "r" and the "u" in Ruth's signature. They are always separate letters. As they are here.
