What you probably don't know is that I've discussed this piece with others, over the phone, so I'm rolling my eyes based on several characteristics of the piece that we've discussed, plus at the fact that it's even up for auction.

No worries.. I figured you have been talking to others on the board with your strong aligned beliefs.

I believe you pointed out the straight edge line originally... and there were examples shown of authentic examples of straigh edge looking sigs. Idk.. I could be wrong.. my memory is not as good as it once was. And.. it really doesn't matter at this point anyway. The stupid Forger should have totally mixed it up a bit and made the signature uneven.. then it would have passed everyone's "sniff test". Stupid forger.... haha

Ben, where in the world did that statement come from? No one said that the straight lines were the only thing wrong with this item; in fact, I specifically stated that they were NOT.

Also, if anyone presented an example that had several straight lines and this many words, they deleted it - I doubt any such exemplar exists.

Ben, you've confused the hell out of me three times in one thread. Where did this statement come from?

All I can make of this is that you think the writing on this photo was by Ruth, and that there is some sort of conspiracy to discredit the authenticator. Quite frankly, without going back and looking, I couldn't tell you if it was JSA, PSA or both who authenticated it. So whatever group you have me 'strongly aligned' with in your head - please remove me.
