Satch was Real... although many stories about him sound fictional.:rolleyes:

do you agree then that this is a real autograph of Paige

Not my area of expertize. If you have any photos of Satch, I'm your guy. But soon Jodi or Richard will stop by and than you'll know. Good luck. Best, Jimmy

Doesn't look good to me. I'd stay away.

I was looking at it a couple days ago and my gut said stay away. I'm no expert but I have been looking for a satchel signature for over a year and run daily searches on ebay.

paige
 

i have a copy of the 1991 baseball autograph handbook by mark allen baker where they list two autographs of Paige and mine appears to hit on it exactly. I think ill make a copy and post them together. This book was issued by spots collectors digest.

I cant remember whose page i have thumbnailed, its one of the members, has 200 HOF autos on it, but his Satch is identical to that one.

Here is the LOA that accompanied this Paige autograph on ebay.
 

For what it's worth...

Attachment 15857

I'm no autograph expert and am not pretending to be one, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it looks to be written too slowly and methodically to me. I have had a few Paige autographs before.

absolutely fake
 

don't buy it.

satchell Paige...real or fake
 

I really do not like members losing money on autographs, this one is a real good example, stay away
