Default Pre-War Autograph Opinion

One of the easiest ways to tell whether a Ruth is real or not (one of the giveaways) is how he crossed his "t". He always used a really hard vertical stroke and pressed the pen at the end leaving a small dot of ink. The way he crossed his "t" in that signature is not straight and there is no spot at the end. You can have a fake Ruth with this characterisitc, but you basically cant have a real one without it. That signature is a joke, as is the Johnson. I dont have as much experience with Wagner and that one is closer to the real deal but still looks bad. Pretty pathetic.
