It is an old slab with a low serial#. I hear they gave higher grades back then.

I could be wrong but I thought the 1933 reprints were produced in 1983. If Ruth died in 1948, how did he sign that?

I think you may have stumbled on the secret... Babe Ruth is still alive! A spritely 122 years young and signing for non-sports loving, Canadian great-grandsons.

This is one lucky grandson. His great grandfather had the card graded by PSA prior to passing it down to his grandpa. Grandpa leaves it in his will for this fortunate grandson. Wow! Amazing imagination kid.

Yes on Memory Lane, that was in the Spence collection.

Don is a nice guy. I have spent time speaking with him at some local get togethers.
He seems to be a different type collector than most on this board. He is a "number on the slab" type guy, which is fine too. He is passionate about those numbers . The higher the better. The E90-1 Young in my collection came from his collection, originally, I believe.

Cut him some slack. He's Canadian.

I actually came here to post on a related topic...The number of unauthorized reproductions being sold on eBay. How are people getting away with this? Reprints are starting to outnumber originals in search results. Shouldn't these listings be shut down? It's very frustrating.
