I have been looking at some of the oversized posters of Yankee Stadium (original) which come with ~ 140 signatures (>12 HOFers+ Mel Allen+Coleman) and a lot of former Yankee players

Judging by the signatures, they were signed in the 198x-1994 timeframe (Allie Reynolds d-1994, Mantle d-1995....) although some seem to have added signatures (O Hernandez, Clemens, etc)

I have been able to work through all but one signature and figured them out by multiple means, bt there is one which eludes me. If anyone has any idea on who it may be, I would appreciate the help.

PS the signature in the middle, not Bankhead (top) nor Kamenecki (sp?) bottom

Thanks in advance B

Not certain of the middle one either, but I believe the top one is Johnny Blanchard, not Bankhead.

Don't know where my head was. I meant Blanchard, not sure why I typed Bankhead

I do a compare documentation where I Place a bitmap of the auto next to a "verified" (PSA or JSA) auto side by side on Power Point. Afterwards create a .pdf file to go as the "pedigree"

That middle one is definitely Tommy John. Matches up to one I see on the internet, attached here.

This one is the signature of the artist/author of the print

I think the name is Mitch or Mitchel, can not make out the last name.

Anyone?

Yowza, Tommy's signature sure has changed remarkably over the years. I have a bunch of cards he signed through the mail and they pretty much match what a lot of the ones on ebay look like (where he wrote his entire name legibly), and then there are the other ones that resemble yours. (Authenticity questions aside) it's funny thinking that the same guy signed them all.

I couldn't place it originally, but TJ makes sense. I'll venture a guess that it was a rushed IP sig, perhaps during his minor league coaching days.
