Why don't you post a scan of the Ruth here. There are a lot of Ruth experts on here and the fee will be $300 for JSA.

You might want some input before laying that out if you are not sure it is authentic.

There are many more Ruth forgeries in the market than there are legitimate autographs.

Good idea. Don't know why I did not think of that.
Scan coming shortly!
Thanks!

Here it is! Please express your thoughts if this is legit or not.
I scanned a nickel for size comparison.
Thanks,

Wow, I am not a fan at all. Any others not like it?

Unfortunately, save the $300 fee. No chance that is authentic. Let others chime in.

Cut + Pencil almost always =forged

OUCH! I guess I will put the $300.00 towards some T206's........Oh by the way, did I say......OUCH!

Thanks for everyone's input, just wish it was better input.

I'd rather have Cold Cuts than a "cut" autograph. They are a 99% Fake known quantity.

At least you saved the OP 3 zambeanies! He got the "other cuts" In person, so maybe he'll hit 50% on those. The balls are easily identifiable and don't need $100 authentication letters either, IMHO.

Please if you dont mind telling us where you obtained it so others can learn from others mistakes. Also I hope you are not out alot of money. I got duped in the 90's for a Ruth to the tune of 550 bucks.Learned my lessons really quick.

If you do not feel like sharing its perfectly fine.

As others have said, that is a blatant forgery. If you submitted a bunch of other stuff to them in person you might be able to just show them in person for free for them to agree so you feel more comfortable with what we are saying. Bottom line though, no chance on that one.

If I where you. I would show us the other Ruth, Williams, Mantle and what ever you where going to have authenticated. We might save you a great deal of money

Hi Shelly.
All of my Mantle, DiMaggio and Williams autographs I received in person and have they never left my possession so I know they are fine.
Maybe I will scan them just to show.......
Thanks,
Bob
