Ruth ball

[Leon]

I am only a collector of cards who has looked at thousands of Ruth sigs and that one looks good. I will defer to the other guys on value with or without the other sigs and it being personalized. For me, if I were buying it, the newer autos would scare me away more than it being personalized. But that is just me and auto collectors might like those. It's a personal thing .

I liked the fact it was bold. Dont see very many this affordable ruths this bold, My name being Mike I liked how it was personalized "To my pal Mike" although the last name not the same as mine but never seen another ruth signed for a "mike" Let alone one this bold. Only question is can my marrige withstand another ruth autograph? haha got a feeling its the ball or the wife. But now I think about it might not be all bad.....hahaha just kidding............i think

Mike,
Wow! You have to own that ball- the inscription is perfect for you!
The boldness is amazing. Congrats!

I really do like it for sure. guess I will wait to the end to see if it feels like a good buy for me.

What's amazing is that it just sold last month (November) in the Goldin auction...final hammer price $3500, price realized: $4250...why would someone try to flip it that quickly...

my feelings exactly! Signature looks too "new" to me while I admit I am nowhere near an expert something just seems off to me from the moment I saw the ball. Does seem quick to be flipped. I believe i saw this on ebay week before as well, did not reach minimum bid first time.

Money, thought he got a good deal and wants to turn and burn.
