1931 Babe Ruth Autograph Ball--Traced Over--JSA

[Donscards]

I have a 1931-34 Official American League Baseball (Harridge) Authentic Signed Babe Ruth Ball----it has been enhanced (traced over) by someone and has been authenticated by JSA--as traced over but it was a geniune Babe Ruth signature at one time---check scans---any idea on value---thanks, Don

Considering it is traced over and in terrible condition grab the first person who might offer you anything close to $200.

Looks deformed. What a shame.

I'd pay $200

$200.01

Richard's the resident expert, but $200 sounds ridiculously low. He let his personal sentiments get the best of him.

I would think $200 is too low I paid more and the person that sold it to me paid JSA $150 to certify the ball. Don----I have 3 private requests to sell the ball but they didnt make offers

[travrosty]

so the first 150 goes back to pay for the authentication. there was nothing there to authenticate. how authentication is possible when ink is covering it up?

i guess there is no downside to calling it good. who's gonna say its NOT a ruth sig when no one can see it? which begs the question - just what is the allure to this ball, what makes it worth anything? I would think the heavy trace over would render it trivial.

if just the ruth sig were removed from this ball, would it look any different?

just a few points to ponder.
