The bats having the same players endorsements as the models 125 and 40, yet will always appear in block letters instead of script. They first retailed for about .50 when the 125 model retailed for over $2.

What is the value of a Babe Ruth card with a fake atograph?
The value depends on which card it is, and what you mean by fake autograph. If you mean a facsimile autograph, a copy of Babe Ruth's signature that is part of the printing of the card, then the value of the card will rely on the year, and the set the card is from. If you mean someone wrote on the card "Babe Ruth" then the value of the card will be drastically lowered in value, if any value at all.
Bats featuring the genuine autograph of Babe Ruth are highly sought by collectors and potentially very valuable. Unfortunately, they are also very often forged. Presuming authenticity, values can range dramatically. Key factors are: the placement and clarity of Ruth's signature (the bigger and bolder, the better), the age and type of bat and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signature - the "eye-appeal." The provenance; the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if it's documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $2500 to as much as $5500, depending on all the aforementioned factors. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.
How do you get a COA on a baseball signed by Babe Ruth?
There are a number of professional authentication services which provide assessment and documentation of autographed items, including baseballs. They charge for their services and certificates offered by some companies are more well-regarded than others, an important factor when choosing an authenticator. Be aware that fees are charged whether or not the item is deemed "genuine" or not. An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the price or less than one that is. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one.
It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it.
Check the respective websites Show Schedule to see if they will be in the area that you live. They also do business through the mail. Before spending money on having the autograph authenticated do your homework. Find signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that they are authentic then proceed. Try the helpful Link below to compare your signature. And I also left links to both Authenticators.

Did the Japanese pilots really say to hell with Babe Ruth during the attack on pearl harbor?
In all probability, Japanese Naval pilots didn't carry "tape-recorders" in their cockpits while flying their missions. This wasn't the "jet age" (or Space Age, Atomic Age, or Computer Age) with high technology. So what those airmen said to themselves or their fellow crewmen during the aerial attack is anybody's choice to state. However, men in combat say an incredible amount of NON-Politically Correct statements when in the heat of battle. And the "...hell with Babe Ruth..." statement would certainly be a more humorous thing to say; and quite possible, as it was a world wide known fact (in the 1930's/1940's) that men in the US preferred "Baseball/Football" over war any day! It seems that that remark would be very possible.
