Default Our most senior? board member needs some help....

I received an email today from a "new" board member. He is 93 years young and needs a bit of help. This picture, he told me, his dad got for him. It is inscribed to our member himself. Recently it was stolen off of his desk. I know it's a very slim chance but if anyone sees this, it is obviously our members picture...as Ruth signed it personally to him, Jonathan Sternberg, please let me know. I am going to post this on the autograph side too. BTW, I think this could be used as a nice exemplar. It doesn't get much better, imho......Please be on the lookout for it.

Beautiful piece! Will always keep my eyes open for it. So sad to see that happen.

Let's keep bumping this one up. I am sure it will pop up in the near future...and maybe we can trace it's custody back to the scoundrel. We are the hobby, so please keep an eye open for it. Help put a happy ending to this story.

Leon,
I assume you have, but in case you haven't, you should send this to JSA and PSA, as anyone needing to sell it, will surely have to have it authenticated. Those guys may see it before anyone else gets a chance to purchase it. We'll definitely be on the lookout as well.

Anyone who sends the photo for authentication will be quite disappointed--the least of what they deserve--as that photo is ghost-signed.

Unfortunately, that isn't "The Babe's" autograph.

If that's true, it's one of the saddest things I ever heard.
