Did Babe Ruth come back from the dead?

I don't want to offer up any sinister theories, but I'm going through SCD and it seems everybody has a Babe Ruth autograph for sale! Sometimes even more than one!

How rare is this sig, then, when everybody seems to have one?

In years past I've never seen so many Ruth autos for sale at any one time.

So what could be a legit way of explaining this?

I am sure probaly 90% are faked. I saw a good one the other day. There is a Power Seller who sells fake autos. The other day they had a signed Patsy Cline country music card. The card was printed in 1993 she died in the 1964 (I believe).

Ruth signed thousands and thousands and thousands of autographs in his decades as the biggest sports celebrity in the world. And EVERYONE who got one, kept it. His autograph is in extremely high demand, but it not at all rare, unless you want a clean single-signed sweet spot official ball.

Well put Joe.

I agree.

How much money would all these baseballs worth today?

Ruth signed a prolific number of autographs, for starters. He was and is heavily forged, and clubhouse sigs., etc.

But that said - there are a huge number of his autographs in the marketplace. I think Barry Halper's sale, for example, had over 250 Babe Ruth signatures, perhaps many more.

That is a cool picture that I had never seen before. I would love to have a Ruth auto, I thought about buying one of those "High Quality" prints of an autograph photo just to hang on the wall to look cool.
