Should I get this Babe Ruth autograph graded?
Hello all,
I recently picked up this Babe Ruth signature and as you can see, is already encapsulated and came with a Full Certificate of Authenticity from PSA/DNA. It's an amazing signature and in my opinion, one of the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen in person. Some of his autographs that I have seen on the market that are from the late 40's before his death are also very bold, but this signature has great provenance along with it stating it was signed in the early 1930's. I have always been more intrigued by the autographs during his playing days. So my question: Should I re-submit this signature and pay the small fee to have the signature graded? I don't plan on selling at the moment, but seeing a Mint 9 or Gem Mint 10 on the label would just be icing on the cake! What do you guys think it would be graded compared to others you've seen and how much might it increase its value to collectors? Thanks for your suggestions. Bryan |

Don't play the stupid game. It's a beautiful signature. It is what it is, and getting PSA to give it a number will not change it. Nor will it "add value."

I agree. The number grade is subjective but looking at it id say either a 9 or 10

Let it live as is, I say. Collectors who want one and know their hobby can see plainly what it is, and pay accordingly. All gravy as is, IMO.

That grading is a joke. Just like when PSA grades a baseball a 9 or 10 and baseballs always tone over the years and now the money you pay to have a 9 or 10 ball tones to a 4 or 5 you can't sell it for that now your screwed by paying back then for a 9 or 10 and now take a hit on it and lose money cause it's toned and not worth nothing. PSA makes there money and you lose. I have looked at baseballs that are sealed in PSA cube that have showed a 10 and it is toned so bad it would be a 3 if they submitted it, now what do you do. You have a ball that is nowhere worth it was as a 10

Sure, go ahead and send it back in for a grade. If it makes you feel better about the autograph, that is all that matters. It's just money, and that is what they are there for, to seperate you from your money.

I don't see the point either. If you know that it is authentic, who cares what anyone else thinks of the number grade? Would you have paid a different price for this if PSA said it was an 8 verse if PSA said it was a 9? Either way, it would not change the quality of the signature. I would save my money.

It's already in a slab, which I think is bad enough.

Nice sig. Leave it be. $300 is way too much.
