Thank you for the history lesson. But that doesn't answer my question.

I asked how long skilled Ruth forgeries have existed. It's highly doubtful master forgers were knocking off Ruths when he was alive, signing freely or his autograph was otherwise of low value.

The question is, if it is possible to verify if a Ruth goes back to a certain date, is there a date that would preclude the likelihood of a deceptive fake?

When did the market price jump for Ruth sigs? They prob rose at the time of his death, but what did they cost in the '80's for example?
