Ruth ball price(am I missing something)

[Bpm0014]

Nice bold autograph. Would it be frowned upon to professionally clean up the smudge a bit?

It's a very nice auto, and it's actually genuine which is also nice, unlike many "museum quality" autos that magically look like they were signed last week

I wasnt questioning authenticity at all. I just wandered if anyone else thought the price seemed a little high for a smudged autograph. Not sure I would spend that kind of money but if money no object who am I to question it ....I guess......

I personally don't think I'd spend 10k on any autograph regardless of how nice it was. A Ruth ball would be phenomenal but for that same amount I could check a dozen hard to find autos of HOFers off my list, but that's where I sit on that or really any auto at that level personally.

I bought a Ruth check a few years ago that I was comfortable with. I was not comfortable authenticating a Ruth cut on my own.. I was once duped by a "big name" autograph and memorablillia seller. I bought A Ruth so called autograph only to find out it was ghost signed. I guess ever since I have been very sensitive to any autograph that doesnt have a "stone cold proof of authenticity". Since then the only item I feel the absolute need to put a priemiums are checks and first party authenticated signatures...JMO Mind you I was duped on the Ruth long before the internet became a common place to research exampliers....Im just saying I have been very cautious ever since.

Greg,
Something fishy here perhaps?
