3000 hit club help
 

I was considering purchasing this item but I have some questions. Pastime Productions is a company of with I’m not familiar. A quick Google search would suggest they’re legit. However the COA seems quite plain and easily reproducible. Taking that into account as well as the photos below would the consensus be that these signatures are authentic? I appreciate it!

Can't zoom in, but signatures look good from what you posted. Pastime morphed into MAB-Celebrity, which is still around.

Frank, thank you for your response. I have tried to include better photos. Hopefully the signatures are easier to see and confirm your initial comment.

Found the photos on the Bay for a larger view and they look good to me.

Pastime started as partnership of Stephen Hisler and Harvey Brandwein. At some point, they separated and it appears Hisler kept the company name. Both men are good guys and experienced dealers.
You are correct, the coa is something that could likely be reproduced, but i have no knowledge of this specific item.

National Pastime began in the 1980s and slowly dissolved in the early mid 2000s. I did a lot of business with them and knew Stephen and Harvey well ( better friends with Harvey than Stephen ). They ran great shows and had fabulous private signings for many years . Their COAs are considered ancient and archaic by today's standards , but they were one of the first , if not the first promoters / companies , to issue COAs with their products.
This particular piece was signed at their 3000 hit club show in Atlantic City . My partner and I and our wives attended the show and it was packed . We got 100 of these posters completely signed at that show privately before the show and another 50 baseballs and 50 bats completely signed during the show. The added attraction to this show was that Ron Lewis the artist was there signing the posters for free if you wanted to wait...many people chose to skip getting Ron's signature in person in order to get the desired player's signature due to time constraints. Some posters were sold after the show by National Pastime and came with the same COA as if you were at the show. It never listed the number of autographs gotten on the poster , so if you got 1 or all of them the same COA was given out at the end of the signing line or thru the mail.
The COA that you show is the exact one from the show.
From your post and photos I would have no trouble with this piece .

My goodness that’s incredible information. Thank you!
