Delahanty!

Good little read in the description here. Seller also has an Anson letter up, and says they are thinking of listing their Brouthers auto!

Lovely. I fell asleep on his novelette description...:eek:

I sent him an email asking if the $5 dollar bill was included.

Did you ever notice that auction listings that have lengthy (copy and pasted) bios are often fakes? It's as if they are trying to distract you from the item itself and some lengthy bio copied from Wikipedia adds credibility.

:rolleyes:

Oh I sure do notice. That is a forgery obviously to back your point up in this specific instance.

+1

But...the COA....if you can't trust Planet Books, who can you trust??? :rolleyes:

Its an awful signature and yes, Planet books just authenticated the latest Brer Rabbitt series too. Their reputation is sterling.

I was amused that the seller points out PSA's previous problems with Delahanty and implores potential buyers not to ask their opinion on this one, but then turns and holds up the Planet Books LOA as if it proved something.

This is the same seller as the AC Anson letter being discussed in another thread.

Amazing how all these old-time guys spilled tea on everything they signed then had to bake them in their ovens to dry them out. I read that big Ed had a drinking problem; guess it was like this:

Yeah, I think that's worth more.

I just noted that in the other thread. I found tha Anson letter first, and found this one by searching what else the seller was pushing.

They mention that they might put up their Dan Brouthers auto for sale. I look forward to that one.

Hopefully the Brouthers looks better than the one Chris posted in the now infamous "People in Glass Houses" thread...

I'm kind of disappointed that thread got locked - I think we were about to get the answer. But on a brighter note, it did spawn the almost-as-infamous 'Please Kick Me'...no wait, I mean 'The State of Net54' thread.

I think he's just drawing attention to the fact that his example is spelled correctly. ;)

I always check spelling when I authenticate autographs :D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes:, unlike others I know of.

JSA should take notes, delehanty or delahanty? i dont know.

And the excuse used by everyone connected to that autograph was that Delahanty could not spell his own name.
He might have been a drunk but I don't think he misspelled his name. If he could not spell his own name then he only did it that one time. (the $30,000 mistake), unless someone else has seen a Delahanty spelled incorrectly.
Dave Zimmerman and Ron Dross got A's in spelling. :D:D.

Richard,
You know that it is much more likely that Bid Ed didn't know how to spell his name than it is that they made a mistake.
