Babe Ruth cut did PSA authenticate this?

Did PSA make a mistake? Did someone create stickers?. I have never seem a signature like this from Ruth. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Check out the cert number on the PSA website and it does say Ruth cut signature. Your thoughts....and thank you!

No, this is most definitely fake. And so is the cert card. Any Ruth is going to come with a full letter.

Thanks James! He must have gone all out on the fake certs b/c there are so much more stuff with a PSA cert. His eBay name is articulate-50. Thanks again!

I agree with James. Definitely a forgery in my opinion and it would come with an LOA if it was truly authenticated by PSA.

Someone should be reporting the fake certs to both ebay and PSA. PSA should be going after him legally, as they have to protect their business and their brand. If fake certs just start appearing everywhere, their services will become increasingly worthless.

Agree. They need to protect their brand. This is an easy fix. PSA has the ability to quickly remove counterfeit certs through the VERO program. If they have to hire some intern to cruise ebay and remove counterfeits, it's worth every penny! Once the counterfeits are removed enough times, the crooks will stop doing it. A cease and desist order from PSA's legal counsel will stop it.

I don't understand why Steiner did not protect their brand. There are so many fake Steiner stickers now, it's going to soon be the new Scoreboard... a legit company whose reputation was ruined by scammers copying their certificates.

Multi-million dollar companies can afford to hire an entry level employee to cruise ebay to remove counterfeits.

Good luck with that! I have contacted them multiple times about NGU Memorabilia and they do not seem to care. Ridiculous! https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/what-has-happened-t...

I just posted the below blog.

Steve is correct. They are not doing enough to protect their brand.

Same with Steiner Sports.

Agreed Christopher and it makes no sense. It will come back to bite them and will negatively impact the goodwill associated with the brand. It is definitely a management problem. Just not sure if it is lower/middle management or senior management.
