			I bought a Ruth check a few years ago that I was comfortable with.  I was not comfortable authenticating a Ruth cut on my own.. I was once duped by a "big name" autograph and memorablillia seller. I bought A Ruth so called autograph only to find out it was ghost signed.  I guess ever since I have been very sensitive to any autograph that doesnt have a "stone cold proof of authenticity".  Since then the only item I feel the absolute need to put a priemiums are checks and first party authenticated signatures...JMO  Mind you I was duped on the Ruth long before the internet became a common place to research exampliers....Im just saying I have been very cautious ever since.
