It looks like Siiicrrrly to me. No opinion on the autograph as I know nothing about them.

I always saw the same thing when reading the Babe's "Sincerely" notations, but then realized that his cursive "e" and "r" look nearly identical. Not saying this piece is good or bad, just pointing out Ruth's penmanship, and the fact that he did know how to spell "sincerely".

The problem with this, and as we've seen before on this forum, is you could very likely be viewing a high quality laser printed copy of the real piece, which would explain the flow and pressure looking correct when viewing online.
