Whenever I start to feel like I have a good handle on spotting a good Williams vs a fake one, I realize I may not have an eye for it (at least Williams').
Some of you may have already seen this picture before, but here is Williams' son (John-Henry) holding a forged signature and Ted is holding an authentic one. Obviously, they would know which is real and which is fake, but I really can't spot the giveaways on how to determine it.
Can any of you Ted Williams' experts out there educate us on how to tell the difference, particularly in this photo of the two balls? The one John-Henry is holding looked good to me. If the photo caption didn't say it was fake, I would have thought it was legit. Are the "ll"'s too short?? Is it just too nice and even of a signature? I can't tell.
Thank you, in advance!
