From the listing:

"there is not another one like it in the world."

I really hope not, absolutely deplorable.

I have to believe the Ruth auto was already cut previously. I hate to think he would have it cut just to fit his little "cookie cutter" template.

"Say it ain't so".

The letter after "Babe" is not an upper-case "R" in Ruth's hand. Either he just signed "Babe," or the "Ruth" was beneath.

I too like the Cobb card for what it is. They were both 'created' or hatched or born or whatever with the intent of capitalizing on the 1/1 craze even though the Cobb shows /99 on the front. Not really a smart move there. I'd have found another card with no numbering like the Ruth.......definitely don't agree with it but just a continuing sign of the times.

I like the Cobb, it's not a "cut" signature. It's an intact stamp and looks good mounted on the card. It's a 1939 "100th Anniversary of Baseball" by the way.

I really don't see the issue with either of these autographs (unless he cut the Ruth auto in half).

What's the difference between these and a cut autograph slapped on the back of an index card?

See if you cut the signature in half, then you can make two cards.... Somewhere out there is a "Ruth" card to go with the "Babe" card

idiots!

Um, yeah, I think we know its a 100th anniversary of baseball stamp. ha. I do agree a bit more now that it would be a harder item to display in another way (the stamp). I still don't like the artificial card and especially the Ruth.

Default I agree.
They both look horrible to me. The Cobb would be cool if it weren't for the numbering /99.

Still, this is not as bad as the card companies destruction of pre-war GU bats.

Every time I see one of those 1/1 bat barrel cards I cringe. They should just put a redemption card for the whole bat and let people chase that.

Exactly right; that's an ampersand (in Ruth's hand) after "Babe."

They could have just erased the "Claire" portion.
