With respect to the photo on the right, all signatures are supposedly authentic except for the following secretarial signatures:

Gehrig, McGraw, Mathewson, Ewing

Not Ruth? Sure looks like a sharpie/felt tip marker, but may just be the scan.

Of course it's just my opinion, but I wouldnt spend money on any of those sigs
on the photo.

The Gehrig is not "secretarial," it is a rubber stamp he used starting in 1940, when he could no longer write. It dates the photograph.

The Ruth, Cobb, Speaker, Wagner, and Lajoie are good.

McGraw, Mathewson, and Ewing were long dead by 1940--and, I'm sure, long dead by the time the page was printed. Those are forgeries.

Not sure about the Collins.
