Any opinions would be appreciated. I actually own this one.

swartz1 · April 7, 2010 11:07PM

Is there a back-story?

frankhardy · April 7, 2010 11:09PM

I just know that it a Sharpie signature. The card is a Conlon card and it is glossy.

must have been from a private signing.

No, it wasn't. It was TTM.

(What do you mean by the last statement?)

swartz1 · April 7, 2010 11:21PM

you could have included the TTM info with the back-story...

frankhardy · April 7, 2010 11:22PM

<< you could have included the TTM info with the back-story... >>

I forgot.

Zep said it's real, so that's what I'm going with.

swartz1 · April 7, 2010 11:25PM

I totally understand the "forgot" part...

because it did happen so long ago...

good luck trying to move it...

or, wait, are you selling it?

Of course it's for sale. It comes with a COA from zep.

ft = for trade
check my bucket = check all my sick patches and cards on my photobucket site and let me me know what it will take to pry that beauty from you

Gotcha. I will be checking. It really is a beauty, isn't it!

Ironmanfan · April 7, 2010 11:39PM

did it come from an umpire?

yeah i actually had to excuse myself and run to the bathroom when I first laid eyes on it

frankhardy · April 7, 2010 11:46PM

<< did it come from an umpire? >>

Nope. It came directly from the Babe, himself.

If we were to somehow make a deal for this card, how would I sort it?

RipublicaninMass · April 8, 2010 12:00AM

<< If we were to somehow make a deal for this card, how would I sort it? >>

First by number, then submitting it with a bunch of cards to PSa/Dna I have heard gets you better grades

frankhardy · April 8, 2010 12:03AM

<< If we were to somehow make a deal for this card, how would I sort it? >>

Well, I'm not sure. See, on the back, it says it's a 1992 card. I think that is a misprint. I think the "2" and the "9" got mixed up. I think it is really a 1929 card. I know this because the signature is real.

So, you could sort it either with the 1992 cards or the 1929 cards. It's totally up to you.

zep33 · April 8, 2010 12:11AM

please don't leave those important decisions up to me. Things like that needs to be decided for me.

frankhardy · April 8, 2010 12:15AM

I would definitely sort it with the 1929 cards since Babe Ruth wasn't alive in 1992. I mean, we know the siganture is real, so the card can't be from 1992.

Are you going to send it to PSA/DNA after we make the deal?

zep33 · April 8, 2010 12:24AM

I won't need their opinion on the card, only my own

jeffcbay · April 8, 2010 12:25AM

It's fake... can I buy it?

i dont like the card itself...

too new and untouched.....he would have signed a GAME USED CARD...

also that auto showes a "reverse flow" of the "B"....even though autos change during the years, the "trajectory" of the pen remains the same...he drew that "B" backwards the way he does now....

sorry, thats my opinion.....

and i think my opinion matters in this case because I would be the high bidder if i wanted it... (because I'm a douchebag)

zep33 · April 8, 2010 12:27AM

This thread is pure win

Kneel · April 11, 2010 9:02AM

Definetly 100% real
