Are these Babe Ruth's Authentic?

[Jaymz023]

Here are a few babe Ruth's out in the world that are for sale.

The first one the guy says his grandfather got personally at a game. Have you seen an example like it before?

The others all happen to be signed with "Sincerely" and all look dang similar.

Thoughts on the authenticity? Any help is appreciated!

No speculation on authenticity but from my POV it looks like a different person signed each of those signatures.

#1 is definitely 100% NOT real.

I was thinking the same thing on that one....

If you saw my signature you would say the same thing hahaha

Now that I have time to look, #2 is 100% no good as well.

Just a mainly uneducated opinion. The only one that Looks possibly good to me as number three.

I agree with the previous opinions that #1, #2 and #4 are bad.

I'm not convinced that #3 is good. I do seem to see some signs of shakiness/slowness in it, that make me think it's bad, but I'm not really sure.

I have one of those. I think "sincerely" looks bad on all 3.

Are there any known where the R extends below the rest of *uth and don't connect? Not sure I've seen one.

What is your problem? I'm trying to learn and don't hold myself out as an expert. That is why I said uneducated.

Then why post? Watch, listen, and learn.

Very Nice!

The one in my photos with the "R" like these is authenticated by GFA..... Thats a whole other discussion Im sure haha. BUT, is it possible GFA has authenticated real stuff? or are they all fakes?

[Jaymz023]

This one I found for a decent price- You can see the stopping points with the pen-loos like a nice flow through the signature. Id like your thoughts on this one too.

[David Atkatz]

There's a reason it's offered at a "decent" price.

[Runscott]

All I can say with certainty is that #1 looks bad, David's two are good, and we need bigger scans of the last three. You can't make decisions on close Ruth's based on scans this small.

[Runscott]

And by "close I mean the ones that are close to what I personally feel are real, as well as the styles I would never touch;e.g., the 'R' in #2, as well as the ones that I am not comfortable with but numerous examples exist that are validated by JSA and/or PSA.

The key to examining further is large scans.

[Bpm0014]

Jaymz023. Your example 101% no good haha.
