Thank you, James.

I am disappointed that Spence certed that.

If I recall correctly, PSA rejected that Babe Ruth awhile back.

It's not authentic.

Very disappointing indeed. Someone is going to lose A LOT of money...

i always thought it'd be easier to authenticate bigger names like ruth, mantle, gehrig, williams etc for people in the know because those get the most scrutiny, they have most examplars and authenticators study those sigs the most because they're the bread and butter, or am i wrong? maybe the forgers are getting so good....

like in cards you can look at a t206 or cracker jack and tell within 2 seconds if it's a fake...because you see them probably 100x more than some of the other obscure issues.

Sometimes you see an item (like the example here) that you just want to believe so bad that its real. I would love to know that a signed ticket stub from Babe Ruth's 700 home run game exists...

The consignor says that he's had it in his possession for 20 years and never had it authenticated. H&S had it authenticated for their auction. What information do you have that PSA rejected this?
