Babe Ruth Ban Johnson Ball
It's been kind of slow over here the last couple days, so what better than posting a Ruth auto to opine on. I passed on this one a couple months ago, I just couldn't get comfortable with it not being a clubhouse. The ball type would place it 1926 or earlier, but the B seems so angular and the Ruth having the crossed up R? I still look at the photos every once and awhile to try to assure myself that I made the right decision in passing on it. I am using my iPad and for some reason cannot get it to load more than one photo at a time so I will reply below with the others. Thoughts?

I agree with your initial feelings

Bump to see if I can get any more opinions and a consensus on this, and whether to add it to my file as a circa 1925 clubhouse signature, for future reference.

It really makes very little difference if a ball has a club house signiture or a forged one. The bottom line is Ruth did not sign it thus makeing the ball worth more than the scribble that is on it.
Just my opinion. |

I passed on it a few months ago because I knew it didn't look right one way or another, but to me, personally I do like to know if it might be clubhouse or outright forgery. I add them to my file and allows me to see trends, or patterns if forgery and I find that valuable information...but then again I am overly analytical of things.

Please answer this. If a ball has a single signed clubhouse signiture. Another ball has a single signed forgery of the same player is the clubhouse worth more.
I know that I have never seen a single signed clubhouse signiture but just asking . |

Keeping it more real, and along the same lines - if you have two 1927 Yankees balls, one with 20 real signatures and 2 forgeries (Ruth and Gehrig), and the other with 20 real signatures and 2 obvious clubhouse (Ruth and Gehrig), which is worth more? ...or is there no difference in value? As a collector, the one with the forgeries would be much less appealing, primarily because the forgeries were not intended to be on the ball and are almost certainly much more recent. And they were used with the intent of screwing someone.

To me neither would be of interest or value to buy, to some the clubhouse might be worth something. I just wanted to know, for information purposes only, nothing at all to do with value.

I don't think it's gonna be like getting into an argument with you, Scott. I think you and I are a bit more evenly matched.
