"THE BALL HAS A BABE RUTH AUTOGRAPH IT IS DEEMED CLUBEHOUSE VERSION."
Um, this means what? That the bat boy signed it? http://tinyurl.com/yc99vk5 |

In this particular case, the "clubhouse Ruth" is a Sinclair Contest Ball. It's a somewhat rare and desirable item on its own (even though it wasn't signed by the Babe). It is even rarer to see authentic Cobb and Speaker sigs on a ball like this. Why someone chose to add Pete Rose is simply beyond me, as it actually devalues the ball. A Ball with just Cobb, Speaker and the Sinclair Ruth would be worth lots more without Rose.
In most cases, "clubhouse" means that a locker room attendant or Bat Boy signed a team ball in the particular player's absence. This was somewhat common, but the clubhouse Ruth sigs you normally see are different from this example. Hope this helps... Last edited by perezfan; 04-09-2010 at 07:11 PM. |

as far as i know, it means someone else signed it. The Ruth looks wrong to me, the "R" is not right for sure.
From personal experience, I know alot of Gretzky auto's are dressing room autos signed by a guy called "Rick the Stick". He signed so many of Wayne's autos that his signature is nearly impossible to detect from the real one.
