Authenticity is Everything
Babe Ruth signed photo - Real or Not? - Do you believe the story?
"This is an Original autographed Babe Ruth 8x10 photograph.
This photograph has been in my family since it was signed in 1948. My Great-Grandmother ( Hannah Gesetz) was admitted in Sloan-Kettering Hospital at the same time The Babe was hospitalized with throat Cancer. Hannah had breast cancer and she lived until 1956. My family's last name was Gesetz but because of our Jewish heritage it was changed to its current more Americanized name. I will be happy to provide my last name only to those who are genuinely interested in purchasing this photograph.
My grandmother, Sally who passed away in November 2000 was present when Babe came into the hospital room to sign the photo. She was approximately 18 yrs old and later married my grandfather Sidney who was Hannah's son. Sidney died in 1987.
My grandmother told me shortly before she passed that The Babe came to Hannah's room with this photo and signed it for her. We believe she was in the hospital in July or August 1948 from my Grandmothers best recollection. This photograph was on display in the Babe Ruth Museum in 1995-1996. I had the plaque from the display but it has been lost.
Please contact me with any reasonable offers. I am selling this to provide funds for my children's college. No international shipping."

Only $2,045.00? The buyer paid over 2K for someone else's autograph!

Yes, if it's not authentic, that's truly sad. I'm going to post another Ruth photo that wasn't authenticated, but I think it was good, maybe for a separate discussion. It looked really nice.

Cool i like looking at expensive signatures. Yes that's too bad if I paid that much for a forgery Id be bummed. Seems like a gamble and Probably someone who wanted a genuine ruth for cheaper picked this up. Unfortunately you get what you pay for.

It's definitely a secretarial.

Wow, so someone is out $2045! Yikes! But if that's the case, then I kind of doubt the HOF story.

Yeah sounds a lot more fishy when you have people comment on it that know Ruth's signature.........

Ya, that's why I love this site. There are a lot of knowledgable people here. I think I'm decent with some autographs, but there are so many more capable people here than I. This is a great place for sure.

That particular Babe Ruth forgery (secretarial) that was sold by Ebay seller Bgat1125.
The same BS story over and over again. I've heard that same story repeated dozens of times.
Bunch of BS!!!
That's why these sellers of forgeries list their garbage on Ebay. They know a sucker and wannabe autograph collector will buy their forgeries.
$2.045.00 for that Babe Ruth secretarial.

People need to stop and think before they buy this stuff. Ruth was riddled with cancer at the end of his life and died on 8/16/48. Why would someone think that he could stop by a hospital room and sign an autograph in July or August of 1948?
