Babe Ruth Donruss Cut Signature, authentic?

[pokerplyr80]

Beckett is about as popular as psa for modern cards. I would not be too worried about the authenticity of the piece.

Since you posted this in the prewar section of the board most responses will be from people who don't know the value modern collectors place on these cut auto cards. I have no idea either. My personal preference if I were spending 10k or more on a Ruth auto would be a decent ball, either a single or a dual with Gehrig. But if you think it's worth the price go for it.

There is huge card $$$ in Taiwan. Topps and Panini are increasing their marketing efforts to that side of the world. I've done multiple transactions out that way with no problems.

Agree with the majority here that this is a steep price for a Babe cut sig. The
"1 of 1" designation doesn't mean much here.

Le'ts back up here for a second. This card is slabbed by Beckett Grading Services, not Beckett Authentication Services (BAS). BAS would issue an LOA and would have a cert number beginning with "A". IMO, Beckett hasn't authenticated anything other than the card itself, and the auto appears to be graded an "8".

Secondly, Donruss is not certifying this either, although it is implied. But where is Donruss LOA? And whom was Donruss's resident Auto expert when this was slabbed? The guy JSA hired? What is the provenence from Donruss?

Based on what we've seen with the TPG's over the last month, if your not asking these questions and understanding whom carries the liability/risk for these vintage autos, sorry, but your head is up your ass.

What he said. Not to be rude, but you're a noob in these parts. Unless you are stinking rich and dying to toss $$$ away on possibly unauthentic sigs, step back for a moment. Take a deep breath, too.

I never understood why cards with cut auto's of Ruth are so expensive, its really insane. I got a slabbed cut (PSA/DNA) for under five grand, and cards go for ten grand and MORE, just dont understand why people would pay so much!!! I couldnt pay that much anyway if i wanted to!!!!
