Babe Ruth MN Auction

I am not sure if anyone has seen this but I missed it. The ball (OAL) went for $8k which to me seems like a steal. Just curious what to see everyone thinks? Is it real and what the value is?

there is a lot of controversy about these Ruth signed balls, especially the ones like this that are in such good condition. The feeling is that a lot of these are forgeries.

Looks authentic in my opinion. Did it have a legitimate LOA from PSA/DNA, JSA, Mike Guiterrez, Kevin Keating? Certainly, if it is authentic, $8K would have been a steal. If authentic and single signed, it is worth $15- 20K depending on the condition of the baseball.

doesn't it seem strange to you that in the last few years, an abundance of "pristine" Babe Ruth balls have surfaced? there are discussions and comparisons about these styles on Hauls of Shame. It is enlightening and frightening.
