Hi everyone, I'm hoping to strike a very good discussion,  so I just recently bought Ron keurajians autograph reference guide 2nd Ed. I'm really enjoying it, lots of great info in it and I've been really trying to study babe Ruth's autograph. I've been reading hauls of shame articles on operation bambino and I am really curious, are there any legitimate babe Ruth baseballs that are in good shape, that were actually signed by him.Ive learned that some forgers have Ruth's signature down and can create some well executed forgeries like the ones shown in the operation bambino articles. I do know that one big tell tail to those forgeries is the basebaline of those forgeries are like a straight line and lack the bouncy sort of whimsical attribute to genuine Ruth baseballs. So, I've been scrolling through eBay looking at baseballs seeing if I can determine whether or not a babe Ruth baseball is authentic or a forgery. By reading Ron keruajians book, I've began to not trust psa or jsa, as they have authenticated Ruth forgeries in the past. But the first 2 examples I want to show you look very similar and my first thought was they are forgeries. The third example was me trying to pick out what looks to me a real babe Ruth baseball. I could be very wrong with what I just said, I don't know, I just started studying his signature. I am looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. I am not looking to purchase any of these baseballs, as I do not have anywhere near the money to pay for a Ruth autograph. I am just looking to gain knowledge on Ruth's signature

OK. That's what I thought. The panels and stitches/stitch hole placement looked off. I thought it was some kind of Jr. League baseball, maybe even slightly smaller by 1 or 2% than the Amer. or Nat. League balls of the day. The signature looks authentic and any caution I may have felt about the integrity of the piece as a whole due to the ball looking a bit odd and the way the ink layered and aged disproportionately on the slightly slicker than average (compared to the Amer and Nat league BBs) has been abated. I se the sticker now too, and I agree with the findings.

Question, did Ruth always have that e tilted to the left in “babe” as almost every example in Ron keaurajians book, showcases the e tilted to some degree whether it’s slight or noticeably tilted. I’ve seen Ruth baseballs that have the “e” totally vertical and it makes me question them
