It’s amazing to me that these “great” uniforms keep popping up, and then they almost always relate to a significant moment in that player’s career. How is that determined—photo matching. I think it would be really interesting if a study was done as to how accurate photo matching is. My guess is that it is no more accurate than card grading, and possibly as inaccurate as autograph grading.

What percentage of the single signed Babe Ruth balls were actually signed by Babe Ruth? I started to wonder that when it seemed every auction had several if not more.

He was a prolific singer, but not that prolific.

It could be urban legend, but I seem to recall reading that James Spence once was asked in litigation whether Ruth wrote left handed or right handed and he didn't know.

In any event, the number of single signed Ruths I was seeing when I started to review auction catalogs just struck me as improbable.

Was he a tenor, baritone, or bass?

I don't think he was as prolific at singing as he was signing. Though I am sure when he tied one on he might have done a few karaokes.

As for PSA's response I think it was expected. They have lawyers and are a public company.
