What do you think of this Cy Young autograph?

[Dustanh1]

I found this today in an antique mall near my house, and wanted to get some other opinions on the autograph. I have seen a lot of examples of this, and it looks ok to me but I am always cautious when it comes to stuff like this. It comes with a LOA but from nowhere I have ever heard of before. I am not sure why I didn't think to take a pic of the letter or at least the name of the company. I know these are just cell phone pics, but I'm hoping for any opinions on this piece.

The seller is asking $695 on this but could probably be talked down some.






They also had some player model bats if anyone here is looking for anything in particular. Don't think there's anything too special in here though.

I would stay away from that signature, it would be best if I did see the item in person, just my opinion. Does not look consistent with others I have seen. Take your post to the memorabilia section

Just a personal opinion from someone who is not an autograph expert, but I would stay away from that one. It doesn't look right to me.

No..looks too neat, not to mention some characteristics of the letter formation..yech.

Don't get too upset tho if the guy posted it in wrong place. Its not that big a deal is it?

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards staying away but wanted to see what others with better knowledge thought. It's appreciated.

Leon, please move this if you see fit. Sorry for posting in the wrong place.

The "Cy" doesn't look right to me. The "Young" is closer.

I think your post was fine, just thought your post would get more feedback on the memorabilia board

The ink running low for Cy and Young is similar to what a vintage fountain pen would do.

If its a fake the guy knew what he was doing.

why would a con fake a cut sig? I would think he would try a ball or a photo or even a 3X5 over a small cut.
