Advice needed on a Ruth cut

jubei777 · Jan 5, 2012

Long story short, I saved up the last four months and am in the market to pick up a Ruth cut. My question out to the knowledgable members is PSA/DNA better than JSA? Are there any things I should look out for?

I think they both have made mistakes so I'd make yourself as best expert on it as possible especially with a large dollar you'll spend. I'd read through this also http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=10608 it's educational at the very least but does point out the main counterfeited Ruth signatures out there.

Good luck! Be sure to scan it when you buy one!

Do you want a 100% guaranteed Ruth autograph? Even in raw form?

Then buy a Personal Check, they are not much more than your average cut sig, and are far more interesting.
In reality, a cut sig is the lowest of low as far as autographs go.

You're correct that the signature would be almost guaranteed authentic on a personal check.
However, he always signed checks G.H. Ruth, instead of the more desirable Babe Ruth.
But at least having a Ruth check would give you peace of mind.

Thanks for the comments. Not a big fan of the checks but good point that they're the closest to a sure thing. Outside of the slips from PSA/DNA and JSA, wasn't there a nurse that signed for him at one point?

I almost think I would rather have the GH Ruth.

I don't necessarily agree with that. In fact, I think cuts can be much more interesting than plain old checks.

If it's a nice cut with the players picture, I agree. But then those get artificially inflated because they are a cut and either 1/1 or low numbered.

His wife signed for him quite a bit. There are also always "clubhouse" versions to be found.
