Looking for some autograph knowledg - Babe Ruth
No gotcha post here...just looking for some education. Below is a Babe Ruth and Ford Frick signed document, and the Ruth got a "gem mint 10" from PSA/DNA.
My question is this; Assuming that both autographs were scribed in relatively the same time frame, how is the Frick substantially faded, while the Ruth appears absolutely pristine (almost looks too good to be true). http://dyn2.heritagestatic.com/lf?se...oduct.chain%5D |

Authenticity aside, the Frick autograph, while not nearly as bold, isn't really faded in my opinion. He appears to have a somewhat light hand when signing. Also, the ink he signed with appears to be of a lighter variety. The Ruth signature is thick, heavy handed, and a darker ink which makes it stand out much much more.

I'm trying to figure out why Babe is even on that letter? Has nothing to do w/ the content at all.

That Ruth is either a "10" or too good to be true, and I would always lean to the latter.....If it's real it's phenomenal.

That's what I was thinking. One of the best I've seen. While I'm not an expert, it looks awfully good to me (again...a bit too good). And heard this one may be coming to market.
