Babe Ruth opinions?
I am looking to add a babe ruth autograph to my collection at some point. I am nervous because of secretarial signatures being mistaken as the real deal. Do any of you know how to spot the difference between an authentic and secretarial or forged?
Ill post a couple photos and maybe you can give your opinions on if they might be real or fake. each photo is a different item. One has a coa from EAC Gallery and one has a LOA from Frank Garo. I dont wanna say which ones have the "authentication" because in a way thats irrelevant. So, thoughts on the photos? Advice on how to tell whats real and whats not? |

The two cuts are forgeries. Bad forgeries. The last two baseballs are good. The first ball is so worn that it's really impossible to tell. (But I have never seen a forgery so worn.)
And, finally, Ruth's "secretarials" are well known, and never mistaken for genuine by the experienced. It's the forgeries you should worry about. |

David, can you maybe explain why they are bad forgeries? What should I look for to help tell the difference between whats real and whats not?

The first cut looks like it took an hour to write. It's written so deliberately and slowly. That would tip me off right away.
No comment on the second one. |

Very amateurish forgeries on the cuts.
Mr Garo and I usually have differing opinions.

Does Garo have a bad rep?
Nevermind in this-I found a good thread here all about him. Last edited by Jaymz023; 10-24-2017 at 03:54 PM. Reason: added info |
