Babe Ruth signed letter

[w7imel]

IMO autograph not even close. Is there anyway this was a fan letter sent to ruth while sick that was secretarial signed? instead of a milicious forgery? I dont know just asking a question to better educate myself

Ruth did not employ "secretaries." Even when he was ill, on good days he would sign a stack postcard-sized photos to fulfill fan requests. Occasionally, when these ran out, Claire would sign for him.

So is this a claire or forgery dave? Just asking so I can better my understanding...Thanks dave!!!!

Secretarial signatures look like secretarial signatures, not like forgeries. This looks like a bad forgery.

No matter what it is the person selling this like I said is more knowlegable about autographs that just your everyday passer by and knows this isn't real. I have had several conversations with him about his extensive autograph collecting. He sends his stuff to psa and jsa to get authenticated. I am almost certain this one was sent in to get authenticated at one time or another. Bottom line is he knows its not the signature of George Herman.

It's not a Clair signature....its a forgery and the seller knows it. I have messaged him and he doesn't seem to care. Scum.

I have emailed and cell phone texted him, and yes he knows it and your right dont seem to care.
