Mantle, DiMaggio, 1948 Indians...Are these real autographs?
 
Kanddcollectibles, formerly gold-n-merchant2274 on ebay, has a few things listed that I think are fakes, but i wanted some opinions of people who are more knowledgeable than I am. The three things i see are a Mickey Mantle ball starting at 99.00, a Joe DiMaggio ball starting at 99.00, and a 1948 Indians ball starting at $1000.00. Mantle and DiMaggio do not look right to me. The D on DiMaggio seems glaringly bad. Mantle looks like someone was being very deliberate in making the letters. The 1948 ball...well, I compared a few signatures, Feller, Lemon, Doby, and Boudreau. I have never seen an "L" like the one on this ball from Boudreau, and the others have many issues, I think. I am not an expert, however, so i wanted to see what others thought.

Thank you for posting these possible fakes but when calling someone out it is forum rules to post your name.

It is at the top of every page where it says welcome to Net54baseball.com and it says full name. I believe it is there so someone can not come on here and anonymously point fingers.

I am sorry, I did not read this, as I was trying to save people from buying this fake stuff. My name is Kenny Marthe. I wanted some people who were very familiar with autographs to look at these items and give their opinion, and possibly report to Ebay if they felt these items were not genuine. i know that Ebay listens if many people report. My concern is that the owner has tried to put things through before that were not genuine, and i don't want to see anyone else get ripped off.

Has anyone looked at the 1948 Indians ball he is trying to sell for $1000.00?
