Nicely framed and all, I can't help but wonder why someone does not show a closeup of the autograph. That seller also has a Mathewson and a Ruth w a Frangipani COA.

"This photograph was purchased from the Baseball Hall of Fame Library and is completely original"

Notice he doesn't mention the autograph as original just the photograph?

Who on earth would buy that without a better close-up? I would be leary of the Frangipani association as well...

If it has a Frangipani certificate you can be sure...

It's no good.

Seems like the seller is being careful with his words. "This is an authentic photo with a cut signature from Walter Johnson. This photograph was purchased from the Baseball Hall of Fame Library and is completely original."

The photo is authentic and completely original but the cut signature....???

Frangipani is listed as one of the authenticators whose items are prohibited. In saying that, the items in question have been removed before I can get a good chuckle.
