One thing w the Yankees team ball, which I got from really studying, and proving its a forgery, is the "B" in Bob Meusel and Benny Bengough. THEY R THE SAME..

Ok David, post photos of your ball and we'll put it to the test.

Well done, Scott. That's why I posted those two photos.

With all of the examinations of Ruth signatures and all, it got me wondering: when did he stop using the quotation marks around his name? I never even noticed that he had done so before. It's interesting to think that at some point, it was still just a nickname. And of course, now, it's almost as if it's his given name!

...granted, I know nothing about autographs (or anything else, for that matter)

Graig, I think it's assumed he used the quotes around Babe up until around 1927 or so, and then after that he didn't use the quotes.

I'm sure others may know more than I do, but I believe that's the case!

Here is a 1927 photo, with quotes, it is believed that he stopped using quotes in 1927.

VERY cool. Thanks for the response, guys.

It also matches the "B" in Babe (sans the little "flip" to begin the B in Babe).
