NOT an authentic Ruth... very nice ball though! Sorry....
I'll edit to elaborate a bit, and perhaps some others can do the same... The letters appear very slowly formed and deliberately drawn. The small "b" in Babe is too wide open at the base The "e" in Babe is too flat at the top The "R" in Ruth is way too open The "u" in Ruth is way too wide and deliberately drawn The slant and flow of the entire signature is all wrong Too bad, because this nice-conditioned Harridge Ball would have been a desirable collectible in its own right. Can the collector reveal where he purchased this piece, so as to help others in the future? If it was purchased 8 - 10 years ago, that would have been around the peak of the autograph market for forgeries. Also... was the ball acquired with any LOA or certificate? That alone can reveal quite a lot. Thanks in advance for any additional info you can provide! Last edited by perezfan; 08-04-2009 at 04:47 PM.
