Odds of this being a rookie signature
 
Just picked this 1954 braves vs atlanta crackers scorecard autographed by Hank Aaron and a couple members of the atlanta team and another from the braves. Did a Psa quick opinion on the hank auto and came back likely genuine. My question is since there are several other autos of players from that particular game does it seem likely this could be a Hank rookie auto?

If you have this in hand, get a jewelers loupe and look at the ink very closely. There are a few things that could point to it perhaps being enhanced (traced over, originally signed in pencil probably since some others are, and then traced in ink over the top). Also notice the doodling/dotting that someone did in the same blue ink nearby on the trophy. It lacks a lot of speed, and while Aaron would have been young and handwriting would reflect this, it's written very slowly. Its not possible to tell from that scan but I almost feel like I can see the start of the letters in H looking thinner than the ink. A good look through a loupe should tell you for certain.

Thats what i was concerned with too...it definetly looks like a slow written signature. It was only $70 and the seller said i could return it if it comes back not authentic. Thanks for your feedback man

Tough to render an opinion when you remove the photo.

Just buy a signature that is dated or on a team ball that is dated. The guessing game is not one that is easily won.
