Ruth Autograph on a Golf Scorecard - Thoughts?

[IronHorse2130]

This item belongs to a friend of a friend who is not a collector. I think the autograph is good but I know next to nothing about autos so I'm turning to you guys! The date penciled on the card seems to make sense as I have found an article saying that Ruth was golfing on that day at the Longshore Country Club.

Ruth did in fact spend a few weeks in Westport CT & most certainly hit the links several times during that span...

Here are a few interesting links that include information about your friends item:

The autograph looks good to me. I like the flow and speed of the signature. This along with putting Ruth in that area during that time frame would make me feel pretty comfortable with this item. Nice item

Yeah, the fact that I can place Ruth there at this time is a big plus for me. Of course, it would be nice to have his signature on something baseball related but this is a nice signature at a much more affordable price.

Any other opinions on authenticity?

I saw it on ebay, but, $4300.00 seems a bit high
