Got thrown a curve ball today. I looked at part of a collection that was suppose to have been acquired by the owner in the early 1960s at Wrigley Field. Instead, he showed me a wide assortment of photos, balls and cuts. Most I thought were legit; Herb Score, Jeff Bagwell, Wade Boggs, etc. But he also had some small cuts and a couple of baseballs that I've listed below. These were acquired from local dealers (unnamed) when he lived in Chicago a number of years ago. I'm especially curious about the Munson. I also though the Young has a chance to be ok but I have concerns about the others. Some I don't like at all. But, I'm still learning these early autos and would appreciate your comments and opinions before he and I talk again. Thank you.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:They are just bad. Williams alone open d and open a. Mantle more shakes than an earthquake. The rest are just as bad.

Unfortunately none of the autographs you posted appear to be authentic, sorry.

Thanks everyone. I already told the owner to be prepared for the worst. There was also a Ruth that I didn't even bother photographing. Unfortunately, he paid real money for these albeit a number of years ago. Now I will see if this hurts my chances on buying the rest of the collection.
