Yeah, i'm sure his many years of experience helps him catch a lot of BS but if the forgery is good enough, how the hell would he know the difference? He can't. It's nothing but pen on item, completely replicable and tangible.
Steve is just a dude comparing sigs, nothing magical. Still remember when he called a Dale Earnhardt sig on a tire fake when you can tell it was 100% real and who the #@#@#@#@ is faking sigs on a tire?

Steve Grad is a joke when it comes to sports memorabilia, he is amazing with celebs and star wars but sucks at sports

To answer your secretarial question, is that most of his secretarial signatures came on balls it seems. People would write in requesting his autograph and a ball that would say "Sincerely Babe Ruth 1948" would be sent back. His secretarial signatures are also a lot small smaller, the auto crammed together and "B" is tall and not fat. Hope some of this helps.
Someone bought it! $11,500

That’s good to hear that I didn’t make a go at it then! I am keeping my eye out for one someday. Even with that one including the Goudey - it didn’t seem like that Goudey would grade higher than a 1 if that…
