Default Authentication letter

So I went to the Chicago sports show yesterday where the "BIG 3". authentication companies were set up. I took a 1947 mini bat given to the Rockford Peaches manager by the team. I suspected this might be the case but thought I would at least see what the reaction was. The mini bat was wood engraved by the 17 players. Some printed their names on the bat...however, several including Kamenshek wrote with the wood engraver in cursive. All 3 companies said they would not authenticate the signatures because it was NOT live ink. Not a problem--I know they are real signatures but interesting that they all chose to stay away.
