Babe Ruth signature discovered on ball I was authenticating...Opinions?

Nice ball and the signature is discernible and appears authentic IMHO.

This was on eBay? Did the seller not take a photo of this side? You can tell that's a Ruth if you look for 2 seconds.

. . . that only post one, or just afew images of the various panels of a baseball. Perhaps this particular seller felt that an image showing the "smudgy" faded signature might take away from the price realized. Honest oversight, you know ;-)

That makes my head hurt, and also makes me angry at myself for not finding the ball the bidding on it. 20/20 hindsight you know.

Anyone have a link to the listing, I want to see how it was described.

I think it originally sold about a year ago. I guess when you're concentrating on the logos of the ball, everything else just gets ignored. The owner is a lucky guy, He got himself a $300 Ruth.

Ugh.. I am going to cry... There is a Ruth cut going up at a local show I go to, bidding starts at 2500
