Looking for help on this Babe Ruth cut sig
 

Hey guys,

I'm posting for a friend of mine. He's had this Babe Ruth cut for quite a while now and has always wondered about it's authenticity. I was hoping to get a few opinions from some of you guys before I suggest he send it in for authentication. He would appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks for your help.

Nope.

Definitely no good. Sorry

no good .

There seems to be a consensus. What about this sig screams fake? I need to be educated, as I want to add a Ruth sig to my collection at some point in the future.

This signature was "drawn," (way too slowly, way too carefully), rather than signed. There is no flow. There's no lightening as the pen ends a word and lifts off the paper. In addition, every letter is just a bit off. To a trained eye, it screams fake.

David,
My first thought was "nice autograph" But, I'm one of those with the untrained eye. I appreciate your comment about flow. I see the interruption in flow between the R and u. What else should we see?

It's really the flow of the entire signature. It is actually a nice "drawing" of his autograph, but when you consider what the flow should look like, it's really not even close.
