I wonder if it was cut from a document? Or ruth was drunk when he signed it? Or if ruth really had a secretary sign all of his nice beautiful autos and his handwriting was actually pish posh.

The autograph in question is without doubt real. Now I can’t see it in hand. Maybe it was photocopied on old paper. But I doubt it. As long as you can see the ink, pressure, indenture, etc then it is real. I would buy it for certain.

Thanks for the feedback

Probably a little on the high end of the scale, but a great looking authentic autograph!

Ruth’s prices are getting a bit high at this moment. I bid on several at Heritage auctions and Goldin. Most were going for $4000-$4500, then BP and tax.

I wanted a no doubter though, and I thought this was very strong autograph so I pounced
