That Babe Ruth guy again...

Sadly no good. Agree on gap and the e

Okay, appreciate the help and input everyone. I'll stay away and probably pass on the bad news to this guy sometime this coming week.

If anyone feels otherwise or things possibly good but atypical let me know. The gap definitely threw me off at first too, but thought the rest looked pretty close and ink seems fluid and aged (I know anything can be faked though). I haven't seen it in hand but can zoom in bit better on my phone with original cell phone pic my friend sent.


Also, if anyone thinks it might be good you can post here or PM, however you're more comfortable. I could tell the guy to pay to send to PSA possibly, but at this point maybe he should just save his money.

Thanks guys.

My friend was able to get some more better pictures today of it. The man also brought the old picture of his father that the signature was found behind. It seems like the Ruth paper was cut to fit in the frame.

Just figured a few more better quality pics couldn't hurt. I don't know this man personally, never met him. Just think if his story is true and it has been many decades behind the photo, would seem odd to be a forgery.

But again I haven't seen it in person or met the owner.

I appreciate all comments thus far.

Look where the "b" connects to the "e" in Babe. The pen has clearly come off of the page after the "b" and then the letter "e" was written in separately. Ruth didn't do that....
