Babe Ruth forgeries - a game almost no one feels comfortable playing
OVER/UNDER - 66% of Babe Ruth signatures are forgeries
As Richard would say - let's play

What was the quote? Something like " It's harder to find a ball that Babe hasn't signed."?

I always thought that quote was used for Bob Feller.

With Feller I'm going to say "under", and that's with an over/under of 2

Scott Malack Lee Trythall Babe Ruth Forgeries
The number is way up there for sure.
What is also certain, is Scott Malack and Lee Trythall of Coach's Corner Auctions have sold more Babe Ruth forgeries than anyone else by far. |

Ok, I had not thought of that. Don't count cc in your calculations

From what I have seen of ruth autos:
Babe Ruth SS balls I would take over for fakes.. Babe Ruth team balls at least ones with psa or jsa I would take under. Ruth checks I would go way under as this seems to me to be the best option to buy a real Ruth auto. As far as the cuts, I would never even think of buying one. From what I have seen. Just my opinion. |

Vintage photos I would say under.

Richard I agree with you on this..It seems like to me if someone is wanting to sell as Ruth fake its either a SS ball or a cut. Not seen alot of photos, As with Mantle and Maris photos I see forgeries all day long on Ebay.

Over.

Balls and cuts I would say over, vintage photos I would say around 40%. Cards I would say way under.

I would say SS balls , cuts, black and white HOF plaque postcards, and the black and white picture postcard of him batting , and Goudey cards well over.
Letters, checks, and vintage photos under. Team signed balls and team signed photos at the stated percent...66% Also the 8x10 autographed photo found in a box in my grandma's barn that was used by Ruth to park his car which my grandfather washed during the 1927 season....well over. |

OVER by a long shot.
All that is available are forgeries with a few real ones sprinkled in....UNLESS IT"S A "BARN FIND". Then it must be real. |

I have no opinions on these as I am no expert. Last edited by jad22; 02-15-2015 at 02:04 PM. |

Count CC - I don't care. The thoughts have all been very interesting. I really enjoy discussing Babe Ruth autographs; moreso, authentic ones.
