Real or fake? Thanks for your help!
 

I'd be interested in your thoughts on these:

Ed A. Walsh, Ford Frick, Freddy Lindstrom, and Rube Marquard

I kind of like the Walsh but am not too keen on the others. Thanks for your help!

Walsh- NO
Frick- No
Lindtrom -Maybe
Marquad - No

Why? All waaaaay to dark and bold in comparison to the ball. Frick is way too big. He signed small. Marquad is way too big and smooth for an older signature. It should be pretty shaky. Lindstrom is the only one that has a chance, but even that one makes me nervous.

They look like Coaches Corner balls.

IMO No to walsh and frick

maybe on Lindstrom, weak maybe on Marquard

I think this will answer your question...very similar to the below link:

Also, Freddie Lindstrom looks way too new.

Just remember, you can see it from fifteen feet away that it is bad.:)

All forgeries

Dan,
You stated you liked the Walsh.
Here is a tip. Look at the ball and compare it to the ink. How does a ball that beat up have a perfect signature on it? The ink should have some fading over the years, especially since he died in 1959. Does that ink look 55yrs old? It looks brand new.
Hope that helps,
Mark

All are horrid.

Thanks, guys. As always, much appreciated.
