Default Show Your Favorite Autographed Item

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I acquired this Dan Daniel's book back in the early 1980's from an antique dealer that had many other BB player
autographs on various items that an elderly gentleman brought into his shop. This collection included items with
many ballplayers from the 1920's thru '30s. Hofers and lesser known players. So, it looked good to me, especially
the way the word "Sincerely" was inscribed. As, I had seen that style of Ruth's signature quite a few times.

Back in the 1990's, I was set-up next to Jimmy Spence at the Cooperstown Show during HOF weekend. I knew Jim-
my would be there, so I brought this book (and some other autographs in my collection) with me and he examined it.
Jimmy told me this signature was real....and, that's all I needed to know. I am satisfied that he says it is authentic.
Other's may differ....but, that's not my problem.

Thanks Jon, for inquiring.
