Is my Babe Ruth fake?

Even if Spence approves, you're always gonna have a tiny worry. You don't need that. Return it, and buy a Ruth everyone agrees on.

I will feel confident in the signature if both Spence and Lelands agree. Like I said no one can be right 100 percent of the time and I wouldn't fault Lelands for being wrong this time if they are. Just as Lelands can be wrong, so can a forum member. We all make mistakes. I would love for it to be real.

You'll always have lingering doubts. Why do you want that particular Ruth? It isn't even a particularly nice example. There are (literally) a million other, genuine, Ruths out there.

It satisfies my preferences of having a single signed item that isn't a cut. I also like the idea of the original owner being at the fair and running into Ruth. It also fell within my budget limitations and I do think it is a nice example. I have doubts about all autographs but I feel comfortable buying them if they have passed authentication. This Ruth would be no different. There is no downside to the purchase. I will receive a refund if it fails and feel confident in it if both Lelands and JSA agree on its authenticity.

Well, best of luck, then. Hope it works out in your favor.
