Babe Ruth Auction

[pencil1974]

The mint 9 is mine along with the Ruth/Ruppert postcard. I sent these in early last month thinking this was going to be a good auction.

All Ruth, plus charity, plus I needed some money for a down payment on a new house. Hope they do well.

Noted a Sinclair contest ball and a Yankee Stafium locker tag in the auction items. Pls correct me if I am wrong, but aren't all the Sinclair balls supposedly ghost signed and the locker tags cannot be attributed to the Yankees at all?

I agree...I was quite disappointed when I saw the selection of cards...mostly strips. When I first heard about this auction I was expecting a type auction running the span of his career...there may be 1 "card" that interests me in the least.

And so many auto'd balls...not impressed.

This question is not specific to this auction at all, but not being a memorabilia person, I have often wondered if all the multiple single-signed Ruth balls one sees in every significant auction over the years are real, and whether the people authenticating them are competent to tell.

These autos have to be real, the proceeds go to the Babe Ruth Museum.

I know the Babe Ruth signed many balls through out his life, but with the high dollars a signed Babe ball brings the fakes are more prevalent than fake Rolexs.
