[Big Dave]

Is it your opinion these are forgeries?

hi dave coaches corner is the biggest joke in the hobby ,,,

Yes they are Octavio, but those actually look decent. prob is, its n ot an "Upgrade letter" just a general one, for a lot, so no pictures.

With their rep, its very possible they could get something that fit the blanket cert description and add the forgeries. Kinda a stretch tho.

Be interested to see other people's opinions on the sigs. Maybe they are a blind squirrel who found a nut in this case?

The lot description in the ALOA is a word-for-word match for a lot sold by Heritage in November 2011:

As expected, neither of those cuts matches the cuts shown in the Heritage lot.

FWIW, I also could not find a matching lot in any Mastro auction from 2007, so I have no idea what they are referring to there, and assume that to be a red herring thrown in by a copy writer who forgot that Legendary still has Mastro's auction results publicly available and searchable through their website.

Yep, couldn't find in the Spring, August, or October auctions in 2007.

Lance wins the prize. You are correct as the original letter came from the Heritage auction, and as you stated, these are not the Ruth and Gehrig autographs shown with that letter.

Good job Lance!



I also wrote CC and explained the situation to them, along with a link to the original auction at Heritage. Will see if they remove those two auctions, or at least the PSA certs.

Description from the Heritage auction. Exactly as the letter shown on CC.

Description:
1934 New York Yankees Team Signed Autograph Album with Ruth, Gehrig. Though this edition of the Bronx Bombers did not capture the American League flag, it stands in history as one of the most noteworthy due to its status as the last to feature the rotund Ruth. The Babe appears as one of twenty-six signatures from the '34 Yanks, his blue fountain pen ink rating 8/10, alone on a removed album page bearing a clipped newspaper image of his perpetually smiling face. Also standing alone, and similarly decorated, is a page featuring Gehrig's 9/10 ink offering. Still housed in the album are pages for Sewell (9/10), Combs (9/10), Gomez (9/10), Ruffing (7/10 due to some staining), and Joe McCarthy (9/10), who shares space with Bump Hadley and one other. A few scattered autographs from visiting players share space within the antique volume.
