William, if this didn't have a JSA cert, how would you feel about it? I think this looks strange, but I don't have the in depth knowledge of Ruth that you have. I would never buy this signature.

Authentic, in my opinion.

I'm not as experienced on Ruth as others here, but I like it a lot, Joey. It's quickly signed, nice and bouncy and nothing sets me off...even tho the small B is way above the baseline. I'm interested in hearing what others say who know the Babe much better than I do.

It would look fantastic framed with a real vintage photo.

Thank you steve. Not only does it have a jsa cert, i did a psa quick opinion and it came back "likely genuine", had jim stinson look at it and he says its authentic and everyone on net54 that looked at it says its good. I just got it today and theres even a date on the lower right hand corner in pencil that says 4/2/47 and attatched to the back theres a newspaper article clipping about the ford motor company presenting babe ruth with a upcoming award of $5000. Happy to add it to my collection

You really did your research and due dilligence, Joey. I'm impressed! I hope you frame it up with a true vintage photo...not just a reproduction of one.
