Default Need help with a Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Signature

Hello

My brother is sending me a signed photo with Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth from the barnstorming tour. I should have it early next week. He said the "R" in the Babe Ruth signature was more pointed than the facsimile signature above it. The photo is a popular souvenir print that i'm sure you experts have seen many times. I have been searching the web for the last couple days examining Ruth signatures. The "R looks rounded at the top on all I have seen except one. The one I found online with a pointed R at the top as my brother describes his has sold for big bucks (38K). I have attached a link. Please have a look and tell me if you have seen others that look like this one. I will post a pic of mine when it arrives. Thanks in advance.
