Babe Ruth autographed baseball?

Hi. I just came across an autographed Babe Ruth baseball. As I am a pretty savvy collector, I know that there are many fakes out there, and this baseball has not been authenticated by anyone yet.

From initial review, I believe that it is authentic, just because the baseball is from the 1930s. The baseball also displays what appears to be the signature that Babe Ruth made on baseballs. The Babe Ruth signature looks a little too dark though for this ball. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Dustin

Of the forger who penned that "Ruth," William.

I don't know squat about The Babe but when I first opened the pic in the OP it almost looked like a replica ball. Almost "laser printed on" or something. Definitely seems "too good to be true".

Interesting convo guys, enjoyed reading through it.
