The b the e and the th are completely and totally off. The slant is also off. Especially in regard to the h in relation to the t. It has never in tens of thousands of his autographs ever slant more from one letter to the next. The a is surprisingly accurate. The an and the e are the 2 toughest letters in his name to replicate (in my humble opinion) with forgers almost never able to get those 2 correct. And the forger did a decent job with the a but a horrendous job with the e. For starters haha…

So the more I look at this….

Rarely if ever does a Ruth autograph stump me. I can tell within a couple seconds if a Ruth autograph is good or not. I’ve studied it pretty extensively. However the more I look at this, the more it stumps me. A lot of the letters are rather atypical. However some are “decent”. I’m assuming this is a signed pennant. And I’m wondering if quite simply the pennant was a tough medium to sign. I’d like to hear the story behind this pennant. I’d also like to hear opinions on the Gehrig autograph. Because I believe if one is good, the other is good and vice versa. There’s just some weird things going on with this and I’d like to hear more on it..
