I noticed it was in pencil
forgers use pencils to create fake autographs on old paper because if you use ink the paper absorbs the ink differently than it would when it was new giving away tell tale signs it is a fake...pre-ball point pen by the masses
I have a Gehrig I bought in the mid 90's that is in pencil on a pic of him taken out of a Who's Who of Baseball...it looks great but I have my doubts of it being legit(who carries around a page from a book to get signed at a barnstorming game????)
