Is This The Ultimate Signed Pre-War Card (Lajoie 33 Goudey)?

Looks like this signed Cy Young cabinet with the same image as his Just So card may be the new king of the mountain or at least a strong challenger for the ultimate signed pre-war card. Link

Honestly, as compared with the Lajoie [and assuming I am owning to own rather than to profit] I'd rather own a signed 1933 Goudey Ruth. The Lajoie has hobby appeal but if it wasn't for the back story of the card itself it would be a minimally interesting signed tribute card. Ruth is the idol against whom every other baseball personality is measured, in and out of the hobby.

Imagine what would a signed Ruth rookie would fetch.

Personally I would prefer the Young cab without the handwriting

I know nothing about autographs. Giving Halpers past and all the forgeries that he had is there any doubt that the signature is good on that card? Not questioning it, just asking.

It doesn't appear to have the "flow" and other characteristics matching authenticated Lajoie autographs from the same time period, but perhaps it was signed while Lajoie was riding in a car on cobblestone streets.
