Back in the mid-1990's in Cooperstown, NY I was set-up next to Jimmy Spence at the HOF weekend
BB card Show. I let him examine it and his opinion of this inscription was that it was real.
Prior to Jimmy looking at it, I had several other opinions from qualified dealers back in the Willow Grove
Shows in the early 1980's. No one has ever dismissed this inscription as not real. Also at those shows,
several reputable dealers offered some pretty good $$$$ to buy this book.

The "Sincerely....Babe Ruth" inscription is written with a fountain pen in a book that was published
in 1930. It was part of an original sports memorabilia collection dating back to the early 1940's.
