My grandma gave these to me a few years ago. She said my grandpa went to a 1953 baseball game between the "Service All Stars" and "Lopat's All Stars" (Ed Lopat) and got these autographs. I have a whole program dated November, 1953 (could post pictures if you guys want me to) and has pictures of all the famous MLB players on Lopat's team, along with a few pages of the two rosters. With all this provenance, I assume they're real but I know nothing about autographs so I could use some help. Thanks!

I think they're both good.
Considering his later life behavior I think that is a great inscription on the Martin.

Your grandmother says your grandfather got the autographs in person, and you doubt her?
Shame on you. ;)

Very Cool piece Scott...
The Martin inscription is borderline eerie!
