I bought a Connie Mack team signed signature page. I looked at many examples of his signature, came to the conclusion it was real, and bought it on ebay. I was straight forward with the seller I was going to have it authenticated and I would only then leave feedback after its return. It came back from PSA as a clubhouse and I was able to get the money back. Needless to say, that was disappointing. But I have also heard that some clubhouse signatures can also pull a premium, although it obviously wouldn't demand a Ruth premium.
Still, that Ruth ball is a cool find. I love the colored threads on those old balls. I collect signed All Star game balls now to liven up my collection, bring a little color into the cabinet.

Well after "selling" it last week she now has it up again, further discounted. This time mentioning, deep in the description, that the Ruth is "believed to be a clubhouse signature".

In the late '80s-very early '90s, there was a dealer who used that very style of clubhouse Ruth in his Krause Publications ads! Wish I could remember who it was. Thanks for the chuckle.

I am pretty sure they would be screwed in an ebay return dispute given the title of the lot...

I don't collect this stuff but I am curious, if someone bought that ball and had the Ruth professionally removed to make it a single-signed Huggins ball, is that similar to someone removing defects from cards? Or is there a separate set of rules for removing unwanted signatures from signed baseballs?

The two are very similar in nature. As to the compromised monetary value, the ball will be less impacted than the card. A card graded “A” takes a much more severe hit in monetary value. A signed ball with ink removal will definitely be worth less than it’s all-original counterpart. But It only loses about 1/3 of the value, whereas the card’s value will plummet much further. That’s just one aspect of why all of the PSA “misses” on the card side are so infuriating. Last edited by perezfan; 09-24-2019 at 02:27 PM.
