That Babe Ruth guy again...

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....

[Bpm0014]

.....nor did he make his "e's" like that, nor did he have that much spacing, etc.

As I said. I believe it's fine.

[Bpm0014]

Please explain why the "e" is not connected to the "b". And I'd love to see another example where he does that. I'm being 0% confrontational. It's just a great learning experience for all I think...

Because that's not how autograph evaluation works. "That's not how any of this works."

It isn't a matter of "I don't like the 'g.' It's no good." In signing my own name, I have, at one time or another, fucked up every single letter. So have we all.

That Ruth was signed quickly, smoothly, and flowingly. I believe it's good.

^^^^ That's not how it works either. One can forge something "quickly, smoothly, and flowingly."

I'm not just throwing out some random opinion. I know Ruth's autograph, and consider myself as good as anyone there is. I don't come on here to argue. I've seen tons of rushed Ruth autographs. Show me another example where he picks up the pen mid-autograph.

I gave you my opinion, Brendan, and I tried to justify it. I'm done.

I'm sure you are "as good as anyone there is." So there is no need to start a pissing contest with me. If you truly "don't come on here to argue," then stop arguing.

Be confident in your opinion, as I am in mine.
