Babe Ruth Auction

[ullmandds]

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.

Lots of nice Ruth tickets.... Some Rare ones in the Teens that are very hard to find plus some Ruth Hr games

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.
