No, but I know a few things about em...Don LOLOL,

such as, I have NEVER seen a legitimate autograph on Auction ZIP. (At least when I stopped looking a few years ago) when ALL THEY SOLD ON THAT SITE WERE FLORIDA FAKES. So, they got better? LOL

Don are you the owner of that autograph????? Sure sounds like you are going overboard to promote it The least you could have done was be open about that.
And Don, I would take Fuddj over any other opinions, including TPA's, on any autograph if he is offering an opinion. Who made you the expert???
And FYI - that auto looks bad IMO.

It seems unlikely he'd sign a hotel receipt. Especially one from a place that wasn't near his apartment.

On Jan 4, he had breakfast with a kid who'd caught a couple saboteurs, having delayed an upstate ice fishing trip. So I doubt Ruth was even in NY on the 11th

Here is the route from Ruth's address on 88th Street to the Commodore. It's a little over 4 miles away. Not sure why he would be at a hotel when he had his own apartment in the city.

He wouldn't have gone there to check into a room, but maybe an old friend had come to town and they were meeting for a meal or a couple drinks at the hotel restaurant/bar.

For that matter, he didn't necessarily have to sign it at the hotel - it could've been a chance encounter on the street and that was the only piece of paper the fan had available.

First of all, I am not authenticating the autograph in question what so ever.
Jimmie Reese, Babe Ruth's roomie on the NY Yankees, said he only roomed with Babe's luggage.
Babe was a notorious partier and a shagger of women according to all accounts in many biographies on Ruth that I have read.
FWIW, I certainly wouldn't use geography as a barometer of authenticity in this argument. Just my 2 cents.

I'll leave the authenticity question to folks on this board that are way more familiar with his sig than me.

Carry on my wayward sons....
