I mentioned the whole lot of them in the other REA thread.

You know what they say about things that seem too good to be true...

Signed pictures of Ruth "too good to be true"?

Can you count to, oh, about a billion?

When was the last time you saw six essentially perfect signed Babe Ruth photos that were uninscribed?

And if a forger were good enough to do these, do you think he'd be stupid enough to submit six at once?

Yes, especially if he can get them certed. Your question implies that you don't believe a forger could be good enough to do these; is that right?

You aren't the slightest bit skeptical when eleven signed photos of the biggest names show up out of nowhere? And they are all perfect, and not a single one of those players wrote "To John," or "Best wishes," or "Sincerely," or "4/17/48," or anything of the like? Have you ever seen an autograph you didn't like?

Nope. Never have. Except for that Gary Cooper piece.

My question does not imply that at all. I'm not responsible for what you infer.
There are certainly forgers that good. But i don't believe anyone that good would be that stupid.

Ah, gotcha. Well, I think he could be that stupid (especially if they're authenticated by somebody). If you open up all those photos in tabs and flip through 'em quickly and over and over again, you don't smell anything the slightest bit fishy?
