Lou Gehrig's Babe
Has anyone noticed the Gehrig signed photo in Hunt's Babe Ruth Auction? The Babe salutation looks a lot like some "authenticated" Ruth sigs floating around.

No it doesn’t. Not at all. But if you can find one please post it...

I saw it and noted in the Hunt thread, that I wondered if Gehrig was ever a secretarial / ghost signer for Babe. I feel comfortable that it looks like a legit Gehrig signed photo, but his "Babe" looks very similar to how Ruth really signed his name, which is what made me wonder....
As I search for other Gehrig inscribed photos, where he finished a word with an "e", none of them were written in the way he wrote the "e" in "Babe". That's what really made me think he could have been used to signing "Babe" in a certain way, and why he may have signed it on the picture in that way. |

I believe Gehrig was mimicking Babe's signature. Ruth's signature was already iconic.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth autograph forged by Lou Gehrig?

Regarding the OP, it's certainly possible that he could study Ruth autographs and become an expert - I have no idea, as I don't know him or what he's done to educate himself. Maybe he has the skills that study can add to - maybe he doesn't. Hopefully he is able to collect at whatever level he chooses, regardless.

He stated that there a lot of "authenticated" Ruth signatures out there....that look questionable. And I just wanted to see these "authenticated" signatures that look questionable. But no worries!

I would also tag the 'bad' and some of the 'I don't know' with a 'probable forger' code if one is known.

but I would like to see all authenticated (by the big ones) Ruths gradually looked at by a group of non-paid Ruth experts and each put in a category;e.g.-'real in our opinion', bad, 'don't know.
I'd be down with this. I'll gladly opine on any Ruth autograph questions thrown my way! |

Maybe the Babe bought a generic Gehrig signed photo, and added his own "To Babe" to make it personalized.
