BECKETT Authentication….Very Strange
The Value of a Beckett Authentication
Recently we came across a vey poor looking forgery of Babe Ruth. This signature was authenticated “as genuine” and placed in a Beckett plastic coffin. Beckett Authentication # 083241973425171.
Almost impossible to believe the above Babe Ruth signature could pass "as genuine" by anyone.
We reached out to Beckett and requested information about “who” GIVE US A PERSON'S NAME, at Beckett authenticated this signature. To our surprise we got a rare response from Beckett.
Our response......

Beckett's shocking response...
Most likely embarrassed, they completely avoid commenting on the signature they once authenticated as genuine.
In closing, the above email was my last email to Beckett which there was NO response.
When a company makes a mistake, as they have done with this horrific Babe Ruth signature, why can’t they just own up to it. Tell us the name of your expert who authenticated this signature.
Beckett charges $400.00 to authenticate a Babe Ruth signature, not to mention the additional cost of placing it in one of their coffins.
The ole saying appears to still stand “You get what you paid for!"
