Babe Ruth Forgery? - They Never Give Up
Be advised that this seller may not be legitimate, nor the autograph.
The seller of this alleged Babe Ruth signature was previously discussed in an earlier thread. Please view the following link.
At that time, he was selling a book with this signature on the title page. That auction was subsequently canceled by eBay and the seller suspended. Please view the following link.
Now this seller has reregistered on eBay under a different name and now the book has disappeared and only the signature remains. This is the lie he is stating now.
"I got this signature back in the 70's from a dealer.
It was in a book but the person had cut it out. The book is long gone."
Kind of funny that he just had the book with this exact signature on eBay less then two weeks ago, but yet states in his current auction that the signature was cut from this book back in the 1970s. Please view the link to see the new auction with the same old autograph.
Here are the two signatures from the original auction and the current one. As you can see, these are the same autograph and the same photo, just the book title has been cropped from the new auction. Please view the link.

From reviewing his previous eBay feedback, this seller had a problem sending the items after payment, and would not accept credit cards or PayPal.
In reviewing his current auctions, he has a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card with only a 99.00 starting bid and no reserve. Let the fun begin.
