[Bpm0014]

Anyone else want to opine on this? Ruth is the only autograph that I know and there is ZERO chance I would buy this ball. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

What dont you like about it?

The “a” is too fat, the “e” is way too pointy, the “b” is off, the “u” is too linear. For starters... But mainly the “e” in Babe is way way off. So let’s start there.

If you say so...Looks pretty typical to me.

I have to agree. The whole signature looks labored and the “be” looks terrible. The “e” has no flair and the whole signature lacks speed and flow. It wouldn’t surprise me if that ball was post 48 as well.

David A. What are your thoughts your usually 100 percent spot on with the Ruth signatures. Chris, Richard Jim?
