Default Ted Williams Signed Postcard

Posted By: William

I can tell you as a small time buyer on ebay that if were to bid, I would bid low on that postcard. Clubhouse or secretarial signatures exist on a lot of his vintage material and there is obviously a ton of forged TW stuff from the 80's onward. Without a recognized second opinion, don't expect much of a return. PSA or JSA, take your pick. Either one should pay for itself.

Ted was pretty particular in his penmanship. Beyond the exaggerated slant that was mentioned, I don't like that the "d" isn't closed and that his last name has an extra letter. It looks like he signed Williamns. Some of his letter forms changed over time but he was consistent in that he always spelled his name correctly and completely. I may be wrong, but that's why I would hold back a decent bid if I were looking for something like that.
