i've been told legit williams should have the "d" and "a" closed. this rule may not always be true but i stay away from them anyway (there's always another williams).

compare to yours,,,I was standing next to him when this was signed.

It looks a little too sloppy to be legit. Just my opinion though.

Whenever Richard rolls out the "harbinger of doom" Williams ISP, you can assume the news ain't good! :D

I hope Shelly was not referring to my picture :D:D:D

Maybe Richard is delusional. and Ted KUBIAK sat next to him and signed that photo of Teddy Ballgame:)

Seriously, I concur, the Bat looks pretty awful. sorry.

shelly 02-28-2012 10:57 AM

Richard, I have seen that photo so many times I think you sleep with it. I have no doubt that it is an authentic signiture.:D:D:D:eek:

A little surprised at the silence!

RichardSimon 03-02-2012 03:39 PM

Breaking the silence for Al,,, the bat looks good.

Thanks Richard. I myself think other than the 2 dotted (i)s it looks just about the same as the first bat post. I see he only dotted one of your (i)s but dotted both of Freds (i)s I guess everyone looks at it all differently. To me if the top one looks bad than to me the one that is in the auction I wouldnt bid on it either. Thanks again Richard Im sure now that you have said its good all the others will follow suit.

The 2nd bat does not resemble the first bat in any way. First bat looks very bad. Second looks fine.

RichardSimon 03-02-2012 06:25 PM

The first bat has an open d and an open a,,,the second bat has a closed d and a closed a. That is one key to a Williams sig.

Richard,
Alls good thanks for the info. At the end of the day either one of them wont cost this board member a plug nickel.;)

ss 03-02-2012 08:58 PM

Not to mention the formation of every other letter in the first bat....

Bilko G 03-02-2012 11:12 PM

second bat is also upper deck authenticated, so it should be 100% good

Sean1125 03-06-2012 11:51 AM

I don't even know Ted's auto and I can tell there is an enormous difference between the two bats... Other than them being similar bat/ink combos nothing is the same... First is ugly and sloppy and disgusting... Second is nice and flows.

Compare them side by side... It's pretty easy to see
Good

1939 Ted Williams Original Signed Photo

Well if we are talking about Ted Williams signed stuff---how about my 1939 signed photo taking at spring training--signed on both sides---early Ted Signatures before he perfected his beautyful signature--I hope the scans are clear enough, I dont want to take it out of holder. thanks, Don

earlywynnfan 03-06-2012 07:17 PM

Thanks for the opinions, even if I didn't really want to hear them. The good news for me is the dealer, whom I've respected, is taking the bat back with zero hesitation.

This is why I collect the Harvey Gentry's of the baseball world.
