Sometimes we (especially me) need to lighten things up a little.....
I found this auction on Ebay.......... Read the auction description............. Just in case Ebay removes the auction, Ebay seller Ceasar404 writes "This is a rare picture of The Babe relaxing at home." http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-genuine...item3a88a878b6 ceasar-4.jpg ceasar-5.jpg Last edited by thetruthisoutthere; 12-10-2013 at 07:11 PM. |

As much as I despise CC, I don't think even they would stoop to that level.

Rare and Signed should be flogged.
Glad to see ebay has the sense to bar them. Jason Cullen, from the UK, is the name on their website and he is supposedly the principal of this company. The UK is certainly the place to go to authenticate Babe Ruth I guess. Anyone have a contact in Scotland Yard?

Maybe the Babe signed this pic of the guy on the couch (?). haha.
BTW, does anybody know who the guy is in the pic? |

I think this auction was done as a joke, right?
It might be interesting to have a contest where each participant creates a Babe Ruth forgery where we do our best to accurately forge the signature, but the piece has something glaringly wrong with it (such as his signing a photograph of Dexter's father).

Along those lines, we could perform the same type of test on "Rare & Signed."
If I submitted a "Babe Ruth" signed ham sandwich, would they cert it? ![]()

It has to be a joke or an ignorant attempt at fraud...If you look at the "Rare & Signed" COA, you will see it says the subject is a "Baseball". I would assume the photo was copied over the original ball photo....But hey, then again I could be wrong!!

One thing I have learned about forgers, in all my years in this hobby, they might be skilled at what they do but the majority are a pretty dumb bunch.

Babe was quite a Chameleon...he looked completely different "relaxing at home" than he did in uniform swinging a bat. for comparison purposes have a look at the "relaxing at home Babe Ruth" photo and the "Babe Ruth having a night out on the town" image I've attached and you'll see it almost looks like two completely different people in addition to being such a great ball player he was a master of disguise !!!!!
