Well-done
It's a shame given how many characteristics of a genuine Ruth-signed piece it possesses, especially the straight-edge-like writing, which was a trademark of Ruth's more 'carefully-signed' pieces :roll eyes:

Why are you rolling your eyes? The piece is not bad because it was written straight.. It is bad because it was bad. There were plenty of good examples given of geniune Ruth's written straight Scott. That is nice work on this one I must say.

I do not know which is more inaccurate:
the authenticity of the autograph or the manner in which this was reported to all of us. "probe nabs" - it makes it sound criminal. The spirit, and accuracy, of this reporting is far worse than the subject it tackles. I was really put off by this write-up. and if this autograph would have fooled many, or all of us - and fooled PSA - and fooled JSA, then why in the world, would you write "probe nabs" with regard to the auctioneer. The positives of someone bringing inaccuracies to light - must be weighed against the negatives in the manner in which they do it. On the whole, this report creates more inaccuracies than it resolves. Last edited by BigJJ; 04-29-2013 at 01:33 PM. |

That reminds me of the Ruth autograph, from a board member touting his authenticator's superior ability, on a 1953 Silver Certificate. And I am not commenting on the Cooper item, I know nothing about it. .

That was ridiculous. The same seller had a bunch of babe Ruth "type 1" photos that were not even close to type 1s that were bgs slabbed that he was selling. A couple still pop up on ebay(they are usually buy it nows or best offers and have a brown tint/heavy paper stock). and are worth about as much as kindling. There was one 8x10 bain image that was thick stock.. so fake. PRIME example of get what you can get authenticated and sell rather than being concerned if it is good or not.

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.

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

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.

So you're saying that both items I showed--one of the signed and numbered special edition 1929 Ruth's Own Book of Baseball, and the "To Mary Keegan" photo were both forged?
