Authenticity Opinion: 1939 Dimaggio & Gordon Page
|
Signatures
Look good to me
|
I am going to go with a no. I just looked up his signature on Hunts past auctions. I saw 38 and forty signatures. Nothing like that or close to it.:eek:
|
I was more worried about the Gordon, seems to be squeezed together a bit more than usual. Joe had a weird “J” like that for awhile and I was thinking this was probably just a rush job for the rest. Still curious though...any other thoughts?
|
and Shells, did Dimaggio ever sign like that? Ifsofatso, I don't like it...:D

The unusual Dimaggio coupled with the "scrunched" Gordon kind of had me a bit unsure. I like the Hadley and am leaning good with the others, just looking for something to push me further in the "yay" or deeper in the "nay". |
I would say yay...Dimaggio had that J for the 1940-42 period and the Gordon looks good to me as well. Less versed on Hadley, but nothing that would lead me to believe clubhouse
|
I believe all three are good.

This is a 1940 ball. It looks nothing like that signature, |
While this page isn’t dated, some in the book are and they range from 1938-1940, with nothing later. So, while it could be before/after those dates, this is reasonably a good period in which we can assume this page was signed.
Dimaggio did use that weird “J” for a while, so it didn’t concern me as it is near this period. The “rushed” looking last part of the signature, coupled with the Gordon being a bit more “scrunched” had me wanting to rule out clubhouse. So far, I think we have a split opinion here... Ironically, I would have been a person voting “good” without much thought if it weren’t my item. I was about to sell it - scanned it, looked at it again...and posted it here for reassurance. |

Below are two contracts signed by Dimaggio dating to the 1940 and 1942 seasons which show his style J during that period.

No one has mentioned the g's in the autograph.:eek: I just don't like it. If you want to spend money on a really ugly autograph that is questionable go for it.

Here is my Joe signature for comparison. I think he is legit.
