Anyone familiar with Ichiro's autograph?
 

Hi All,

Opinions on this Ichiro autograph? Looks like there is also Scott Spiezio, unkown above that and Michael Morse on the inside of the mitt.

Thanks
Eric

The glare on that is pretty bad, can you take another photo?

The time frame for this mitt would have to be ST for 2005 or this date range

5/31-8/19

As that is the time frame those 3 players played on the Mariners, so get an idea when the glove was signed.

No-one wore 66 for the Mariners in 2005, so its probably another team or Minor Leaguer during ST

I have attached an in-person Ichiro I got in 2006

I got couple balls signed recently and it doesn't look like that but Ichiro does change his signature over the years. I also got a 2002 bat signed bat and it looks close to what you posted. I think its good.

It's also not the typical item which forgers would target - an inexpensive glove coupled with common player signatures - as the resale market isn't huge on a piece like that.

So, based on that - and not my expertise on Ichiro's signature - I'd say that's one positive aspect about it!

Thanks Guys,

I was thinking the same, Scott. Anyone recognize this name? It has the #66 but I can't figure out who it is.

Thanks again
Eric

Like I said, noone played for the Mariners with that number the only 3 this glove could have been signed. Only possibility is another team, or MiLB player and this was signed at ST

Here is a list of every player at ST for the Mariners that had a first name that started with an R

R Christianso
Ryan Franklin # 45
Raul Ibanez #28
Rechie Sexson #44
R Santiago #1
R Gutierrez
R Rivera
Ron Villone # 47
Rafael Soriano #39
Ron Hassey #9
Randy Winn #2
Ryan Roland-Smith
R Johnson
R Guttormson

Thanks Everyone!

I think the glove is signed by Richie Sexon, but don't know about the number, maybe he was 66 in spring training, maybe just a bad 44 or 11, both number that he wore.

In 2005, it was his first year, so its quite possible he was 11 or 44. I dont think its his, as his common signature and the one on the glove dont have a lot of matching qualities
