Default The Ruth hits just keep on coming.

You have to grimace when a seller say:

"Signed Babe Ruth baseball that's been in its display case since the day it was signed. Does not come with certificate of authenticity however my great uncle personally had Babe Ruth sign this ball and it's been passed down to me so I don't doubt it's genuine what so ever. This ball is being sold as is. I will not accept returns or refunds. My loss is your gain. Don't pass this up."

In a case since the day it was signed? Really,, I did not know they used plastic ball cubes in Ruth's era.
My great uncle had Ruth sign?,,, and he is rolling over in his grave now.
Does not come with certificate of authenticity? Why not? Perhaps Sperling was busy that day?
I don't doubt it is genuine?,, well you are the only one.
I will not accept returns?,, words guaranteed to instill confidence in a buyer.

This one gets five Pinocchio noses.
