Ruth was like the Bob Feller of his day. Authentic autographs can show up on just about anything. In that respect, he is a good forger's dream. Some times he just shows up on team signed balls from a different team of the era. A 1932 Tigers ball with 23 Tigers signatures.....and the Babe!

I personally would not buy any ruth sig no matter what without auth.
That aside this throws fantasy flags - The ink has not oxidized at all. The damage to that ball is just way too white. It's not even aged a bit. I could totally buy a kid in the 30's taking a signed ball out to the park for the day, or the ball being used prior to signing. But other than a rogue dog stealing from your collection, how does a signed ruth ball from the 30's get damage that white? My doubts are high.

Someday I'll have to put together a "real or fake treasure or Junk" Quiz involving several hobbies and see who fails...........
Someone who knows one thing well enough to make a living at it might not know another field at all. Heck, even full time dealers in one hobby don't know about or notice some stuff within their own field. Steve B
