Babe Ruth Signature Authenticity Question

[Snapolit1]

Admittedly no expert either, but that looks good to me. I'd buy that if someone was selling at a reasonably low price and take a shot.

If not authentic, it was signed a very long time ago by someone else. You can't fake that kind of aging in the ink and you don't typically see it in forgeries because they were almost always recently signed.

It’s 100% good just very rushed. You can clearly see that this has been in a matte/frame. The “uth” is super atypical for sure, but if he didn’t have a good hard surface to sign on, we often see that. It’s good, slightly atypical, rushed, and somewhat faded. I never suggest sending it to get a cert, however in this case I would considering all of those factors.

I can probably even give you a time frame for this. Most likely 1932-1944.

I like your confidence!

I’d like to know if the OP got it for a song.

Yes, it is worth the cost to get this one authenticated.

I don't collect autographs but have seen, probably +/-10,000 Ruth autugraphs. When I first saw it, I said "that looks good". That is my scientific rationale.
Good luck, welcome to the forum, and in the future please put autograph questions in the autograph section, made for autographs. Any questions on anything forum related just send me a private message.

This one is on the money, definitely worth submitting.

I have looked at thousands of Ruth autographs over the last 30 years and have never seen even (1) that has that beginning stroke to the “u”. It may indeed be authentic but is certainly not a “dead on” example.
