Help with Roberto Clemente signed mini poster/estate sale find
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi, guys. I stumbled across this over the weekend at an estate sale. It was in a nice frame, paired with a photo, but the frame and photo had been damaged pretty badly so that's probably why no one else bought it. I removed the poster, or whatever you'd call it. It measures a bit over 5 by 8 inches and looks like maybe it has been put on a photo album backing. I suspect it could be removed with a little effort but don't want to risk it. Probably going to sell and will let the buyer do what he/she wants. Any thoughts on authenticity, value? I don't know a lot about autographs (more of a card guy), but I got this for virtually nothing so there was little risk. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Rob

not so sure about this one , looks more like the secretarial ones than real ones , that being said i doubt it would pass psa or jsa

I have one like that and it passed psa opinion but here everyone said it was not good. After much agonizing I had to admit it was bad.

I'm shocked! A difference of opinion on Net54 over the authenticity of an autograph? That never happens here. :) Just kidding. I appreciate the input.
But I'm not sure what to do. Like I said, I have only a few bucks in it so if it's not a true Clemente, it's not a huge deal. Disappointing, naturally. But a couple people seem to think it's good. Sigh. That's why I don't typically mess with autographs.

I'm leaning towards not good. The problem I have is that this style of Clemente is usually more "manic" or hurried. The R in Roberto seems less hurried in your example. As for varying opinions on autographs, you're going to get that when you have an example that has traits that are not "normal.

Anyone have any authentic "best wishes" inscriptions from Clemente? That seems where the real tell would be.

Here's one. Someone whited out the personalization but you can still see the Best Wishes quite well. This one was purchased from Jim.
