This one is tough. Especially because it is faded and tough to see. The autograph has clearly been on the ball for a long time. It also has some characteristics of an early Ruth. But the first set of parentheses are too spaced out and too linear. And the "R" comes down a little far and the "h" is a little pointy. However these 2 things (sometimes) are also characteristics of an early Ruth. Although slightly atypical, it wouldn't surprise me if this was an early Ruth. That's why I asked to see the stampings on the ball.
Gun to my head, and without the ball in hand, I'm going to go out on a limb and say A. But, it's not one that I would buy for my collection. You could send this to PSA 20 different times and it would probably come back with 5 goods and 15 bads. |

interesting
I would have thought what appears to me as a poorly executed "B" indicative in part of a clubhouse/forgery......

One thing I have learned about offering opinions on chat boards is to never guess.
And never write, "I can only see a little of it, but I think it may be okay." Because that will quickly become, "Steve said it's okay." There is no upside to offering an opinion on a barely visible signature, unless it is so grossly malformed it's obviously bad. I suspect many other knowledgeable collectors feel the same.
