It's close enough to real that it's beyond my pay grade. I usually only give opinions on ones I think are definitely fake.

Possible value, roughly $2,500 unauthenticated and $4,000-$5,000 for BAS/JSA/PSA. 

Got a link?

Thanks Steve.  It is encapsulated by psa, but one can’t be careful enough.

Thanks, Chris. Yes, it's always good to get more opinions.

I think this is likely authentic.  I’ve noticed that it appears as though Babe Ruth would often sign a bit differently on paper from how his baseball autographs appear...or is that just my imagination?  But it just seems that way to me anyway.

The Gehrig looks spot on. The Babe Ruth, I'm not quite there yet as being able to tell the difference between a good one and a bad one. But from what I can see, it looks alright.

I've posted threads on the below Ebay seller Baseballcardsandcollectibles.

Thanks. Certainly makes we wonder even more now if it’s real.

The eBay seller Chris pointed out is calling his a reprint. I don't know if he's always done that or not, but it's definitely a copy of the one you're interested in.

I checked the listing out and saw that.  They have several replica autos for sale.  I would guess that the one I like is definitely not a replica.

Yes, that seller sells both forgeries (Florida forgeries) and reprints.
