Babe Ruth?

For whatever it's worth...

I think Chris already knows the answer

When a Kurt Cobain thread on a primarily sports autograph forum is the most interesting one, you know we're in trouble.

This is my concern.

My concern about the above Babe Ruth was relayed to Huggins & Scott a week ago.

I didn't think you would.

Didn't you write "Nice pickup. The autograph book looks good" on the below thread.

As for my "Glass Houses" thread, it was meant for one person. I knew I'd be criticized for it. But it's what I do.

Chris,

What was Huggins response? I'd be hard pressed to believe that the stub is even real..

[travrosty]

well, if you dont like the ruth, you got sgc to blame. you know, that company with tons of autograph authentication experience, authentication and slabbing autographs for 8 dollars apiece and they won't tell you who authenticates their autographs.

Mr. Root is a member here, why don't you invite him on this thread to explain this authentication? for the record, i am not a ruth expert so i dont have an opinion on this, but i am sure he will come right on here and he can explain it to your satisfaction.

so i guess sgc autograph authentication gets instantly listed now on auction sites? nobody else can get in but sgc now joins psa and jsa because they have so much experience authenticating autographs, a whole 8 weeks now?

Travis,

In Chris' defense, the article he posted from Sports Collectors Daily mentioned nothing about the JSA letter. You have to actually go out to the Huggin's and Scott site to see that it has a JSA letter. Get all the facts before you attempt to start another one of "those" threads....

For all the guys fighting their little personal wars on here..

The Ruth auto has been certified by JSA and SGC. I don't know either way on the autograph itself, but the condition that stub is in raises suspicions to me.

I went to some of the NCAA games the other night and I don't think the corners on my tickets were that sharp prior to the games even starting...

James and all,
Interesting...

FWIW, I would not trust this to be a real Ruth 700th HR ticket.

I personally have not seen vintage Tigers tickets that have been stamped with a date. In fact, as a baseball ticket collector of over 40 years, I will tell you that I do not recall EVER seeing a Tigers stamped date ticket prior to 1969. I have, however, seen lots of emergency tickets like the one featured in this auction with designations like Game X, Game K, etc.

I do recall seeing a genuine printed date ticket to Ruth's 700th HR. At least one exists in the hobby. As I recall it has an uneven tear at the perforation, almost appearing to have a "fang" shaped tear....

Here is a listing of other Tigers ticket stubs. You can see there are a couple of stamp-dated 1934 Tigers ticket stubs in this lot.
