The Babe - Real, Clubhouse, or Forgery?

[Mr. Zipper]

One thing I have learned about offering opinions on chat boards is to never guess.

And never write, "I can only see a little of it, but I think it may be okay." Because that will quickly become, "Steve said it's okay."

There is no upside to offering an opinion on a barely visible signature, unless it is so grossly malformed it's obviously bad.

I suspect many other knowledgeable collectors feel the same.

I would never speak for anyone else, but personally, I have grown weary of opining.
