I just sold this photo, so this is not an advertisement.
Here is an authentic Maris, feel free to compare to the photo that is posted.

I was thinking of Richard's when I made my statement. On the one in this thread, the R looks really thin, and other letter formation off, especially the way the s finishes. Also, I was told by an old time collector once that Maris rarely dots the I, mostly does a circle or close to circular deal instead. Richards looks much more like that, as well as being a perfect sig overall. whoever got that sure got a winner of an autograph

Mine looks pretty different from Richards?!?! I got mine in the late 70's from my neighbor...who was a sports writer for the herald tibune...and he got the auto himself from Ra-jah...not sure exactly when though?!

I think what you have is the early in career Maris signature which would fit the era of that card of his. A better scan would help. Mine was signed in 1982, to Yvonne, a dental assistant in Maris' dentists office. She told me that Maris actually brought the picture into the office for her after she asked for an autograph.

Here's Fudd's Maris for comparison. It looked good to me when I bought it 5 years ago or so. A little faded so I hope it's not too hard to see. It does have an alphabet full letter, so who knows these days about authenticity???

Maris as a Cardinal Too
One of my favorite pieces, the Maris signature is on an unscored scorecard.

I appreciate the samples of some very nice Maris signatures. The signed 1958
Topps card is awesome. Richard's signed photo is absolutely beautiful. I am also grateful for the synopsis of his signing habits. As I said earlier, the picture is mounted on a plaque with a plexiglass cover and a name plate. Back in the 1980's, there was a company that advertised these picture plaques in the SCD. Not sure if they're still around. |

Glad you sold it. Now the temptation is gone. I was REALLY tempted.

This was the most tempting piece from my last list.
If it was not personalized I think I could have sold it six times at a lot more money than I did sell it for.

That is a very early Maris, he probably signed that card the year it came out.
