Babe Ruth Opinions

[joed25]

Hi, can I get your thoughts on this Babe Ruth signed Ford Motor mini baseball if it's authentic or not? Thanks, Joe

Not authentic "B" and "a" connect.
second "b" is not the tallest letter in the signature
"e" does not look right
"R" pen pressure looks wrong at bottom of loop
"R" does not finish properly seems too short for the completion of the letter
"ut" are the same height
"t" - does not look like the "-" part finishes with heavy pen pressure
"h" seems to be too compact, the hump should be stretched a bit

Besides Jims great analysis it says it is a 1948 ball which makes it extremely unlikely
