The Yankee Clipper and Teddy Ballagame -- fact or fiction?

CardsFan999 · #1 02-12-2013, 06:25 PM

I've had these three since 1973.

The Williams in ballpoint pen was TTM, the other two purchased for around a dollar or so each IIRC.

Good or not?

Any opinions welcome -- thanks in advance.

I would pass on all three.

Any particular reasons why these appear bogus to you?

They appear to be proxy signed.

If I am not mistaken, the Joe D is the sister.

Not sure who was signing for Teddy Ballgame, but these are consistent with others I have seen labeled secretarial.

Yea, what he said.

I've been told this before. That sister must have fooled a lot of people over the years.

That would not surprise me a bit. The ball-point signature came from Texas when he was managing, so maybe he didn't have that person signing for him for very long.

That's a Joe D sister auto IMO as well. Look at the M.
