I am going to go with a no. I just looked up his signature on Hunts past auctions. I saw 38 and forty signatures. Nothing like that or close to it.

I was more worried about the Gordon, seems to be squeezed together a bit more than usual. Joe had a weird “J” like that for awhile and I was thinking this was probably just a rush job for the rest. Still curious though...any other thoughts?

There is the funny "J" that he used sometimes around that period. I like the Gordon autograph on the baseball you pictured. My concern was that this was potentially clubhouse, although the autograph album was less of game/ballpark based and more "event based" with items clearly signed at dinners, charity events, etc.

The unusual Dimaggio coupled with the "scrunched" Gordon kind of had me a bit unsure. I like the Hadley and am leaning good with the others, just looking for something to push me further in the "yay" or deeper in the "nay".

I would say yay...Dimaggio had that J for the 1940-42 period and the Gordon looks good to me as well. Less versed on Hadley, but nothing that would lead me to believe clubhouse

While this page isn’t dated, some in the book are and they range from 1938-1940, with nothing later. So, while it could be before/after those dates, this is reasonably a good period in which we can assume this page was signed.

Dimaggio did use that weird “J” for a while, so it didn’t concern me as it is near this period. The “rushed” looking last part of the signature, coupled with the Gordon being a bit more “scrunched” had me wanting to rule out clubhouse.

So far, I think we have a split opinion here...

Ironically, I would have been a person voting “good” without much thought if it weren’t my item. I was about to sell it - scanned it, looked at it again...and posted it here for reassurance.

Th variant in the original post is one that i have seen several times on items that were dated on or around 1942.

Not my album page, but i’d stand behind it as authentic if it were

boy i miss Jim Stinson!

Below are two contracts signed by Dimaggio dating to the 1940 and 1942 seasons which show his style J during that period.

No one has mentioned the g's in the autograph. I just don't like it. If you want to spend money on a really ugly autograph that is questionable go for it.

The g's do look terrible, but there are indications (to me) that he was writing on a page that didn't have good support, so maybe he just couldn't get the loops in. I bet it's authentic, but good point on ugly autographs.
