That signature is perfect. It is in the absolute perfect spot on the card as if it were printed there. The autograph obviously was not rushed or manipulated in any way. What could possibly cause it not to be a 10? How could it be improved?

Good questions. With the 1933 and 1934 Goudeys we sent in hundreds of clean, bold-colored, and nice corner/edges cards and we rarely got higher than 4.5. Every one of us who has held this Ruth card thought it looked near flawless and they likely had the biggest issue with the centering maybe. With regard to autograph grading, if there is part of the autograph that is lighter or skips a little, it could take the grade down. Hands down, everyone who inspected the 6 signed Ruth cards from this collection thought they were amazing and seemed to like this one the best of the 6.
