Hey y'all.

I just bought our first house and I am going to be trying to move a few things in the coming month in order to finance my hobby from within my collection instead of from my income (which will be focused toward the house). I have this Brooks Robinson signed 8x10 with an mlb sticker and code on it but I don't know if the sticker "authenticates" the auto or just copy-writes the photo (autograph collecting is not my forte). Can anyone tell me what the deal is? And if the sticker does not have anything to do with the auto, how does the signature look? Thanks.

The sticker indicates it is a MLB licensed photo. Unfortunately, all the photos now come with that huge gaudy thing on it. Who cares if a photo is MLB licensed and who wants to stare at that in a frame?

The hologram has no bearing on the autograph, which looks okay to me.

Looks like Brooks.

Also, I've never seen a fake Brooks auto. He's a generous signer (like Musial) with a low priced auto that is not often forged.
