Ruth Ball

Hey Alex,

I echo the above members and appreciate your service to our country...

The signature looks ok to me, but the thing that spooks my most are the stampings on the ball... The ball has a wonderful even white hue about it... the signature is bold, yet the stampings (that I assumed would have been produced in the 1930's have faded pretty significantly)

When I look at baseball's like this my thoughts are as follows:

1-Newly introduced hobby gem that has been tucked away in a sock in someones hope chest under perfect conditions

2-wonderfully produced replica ball using a period stamp pad with ink & the the application of a highly skilled Ruth forgery...

If Anything I would recommend you solicit the opinions of Richard Simon and or Jim Stinson... They are the best of the best when it comes to the baseball autograph collecting hobby...

Best,
Dave
