I want to ask if there are any Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig autograph experts who can tell me if the ones on this pennant are authentic?

    Can some of the experts please get back to me on this?

    This particular forum is not very well populated.

    I know that you have also posted this on other forums.

    Why don't you just pay for authentication? There are tons of fake Ruth and Gehrig autographs out there and it is very unwise to buy ones that have not been professionally authenticated.

    Before I considered doing this I was hoping to get some input from some who know these signatures.

    You might (not sure) get more feedback on these if you post them in the Trading Cards Forum since that's where the sports people hang out.

    O.K., although I didn't do so because it isn't a trading card.

    It's the "Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum". ;)

    It makes sense to start with the Autographs Forum but as you found out that one is a bit slow.

    There are some excellent forgeries of Ruth and Gehrig out there, so it's tough to make a casual assessment. If you look at the closed thread a few down from yours, it discusses modern "replica" signed memorabilia of exactly this kind.

    The guys at net54 might be able to help with old autos like these.

    This forum is probably the right one, but confirm that there isn’t something more appropriate: https://www.net54baseball.com/forumdisplay.php?s=45fa36a8b5d9bb454637eeb717e1d26b&f=31
