With those 4 opinions you really don't more . Those 4 are as good as anyone on Ruth . IMO only reason to get more would be to confirm your already received opinions OR to find a person that says no to the check.
Just to add my 2 cents worth. The Ruth autograph / endorsement is good . It's a beautiful example. Last edited by Klrdds; 05-10-2021 at 04:33 PM. |

OK.
So here is the full story. About 15 years ago I bought this check off Ebay just as it is for $1500. No authentication. At the time, it was a good price but not a steal. I held onto it for a couple of years and sent it to a major auction house with some other items for consignment. They sent the check back to me and said it did not pass authentication. It would have been PSA/DNA at that time with Steve Grad the likely authenticator as I think Jimmy Spence had already left to form JSA. I certainly thought it was a perfect example as the opinions expressed here but I would not try and sell it since they sent it back and I did not want to spend another $250 which was the Ruth fee at the time to get the same result. It was way too late to try and get my money back from the seller so I chalked it up to a bad beat down. I did not think much more about it but still had it in a box here at my home. Then a few days ago I was looking at the Heritage Auction and saw a check up for auction that appeared to be a mirror of this check with the same bank and same person signing the front. I compared the two closely and although the handwriting on the check looks a little different, mine was a year later based on the dating than the one in Heritage so depending on age etc., possibly the signer's writing was a little different. So, I got to thinking maybe mine was indeed good after all. Hence, I put it up here for some opinions which I respect. I did not want to declare the facts as I wanted opinions based on the Ruth signature, not the story. I was encouraged by the responses with no one who opined it was not authentic. As a final test, I submitted it to Beckett for the online opinion for $10. They quickly opined "Not likely to pass full authentication." Of course you get no reason, just Yes/No. With a $350 fee for Ruth, it just does not make sense to submit it for full authentication. There must be a tell that we are all missing and they immediately picked up on. If indeed this is a forgery, it is the best one I have ever seen. So there is the "whole story." |

While GH Ruth may be easier to forge than Babe Ruth, I’m still 100% convinced this is good. There is absolutely not 1 thing that stands out about this that says it’s no good. Only thing I can think of is that there are a number of these floating around and it’s simply a longtime known forgery. Otherwise I stand behind my assessment that this is good.
