Yaz website fakes

[cnote08]

Wow. Take a look at yaz8.com. This is the website of Carl Yastrzemski. There seems to be a horrendous fake of Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Ali. Additionally some of the photographs with Carl and Johnny bench as well as Reggie Jackson seem to be fake as well. Your thoughts?

The photo signed by all 3 is certified by PSA:

PSA/DNA Certification Verification #E41522
It is the opinion of PSA/DNA Authentication Services that the signature(s) listed below is/are genuine. According to the Certification Database, this item is defined as follows:

Item: 8X10
Primary Subject: TED WILLIAMS, JOE DIMAGGIO AND MUHAMMAD ALI

The DiMaggio does look weird on that photo but PSA backs it for whatever that is worth!

Peace, Mike

I believe Yaz's site is run by his long time autograph agent Dick Gordon who has been a hobby mainstay for well over 30 years....Regardless of the pricing, the autographs are all genuine.

Cnote. If you are going to be calling reputable people out on a public forum, you should probably put your name on it. Also, your only other post says you have collected autographs for 30 years, but you don't know which auction houses are credible???? How about the ones that sell authentic autographs of people you are interested in.

I'm fully aware of PSA/DNA reputation and consider them credible. That's why I was shocked when I saw the DiMaggio which looks, in my opinion, completely different than other authentic examples.

Simply another variation of his autograph.

I have not seen Dick Gordon for quite a few years, since I stopped doing shows, but as far as I know, he was one of the real good guys.
