DEREK JETER Experts Opinions ?

[JimStinson]

Calling all experts ! Just for fun , and since Jeter happens to be a popular topic on the board...what do you think of this Derek Jeter autograph ? Authentic ? Fake ? No pm's or e-mails , open discussion only...

Ok, I'll play. Normally I wouldn't even bother with my opinion on Jeter, but it seems like there's almost no curves to the bottom part of the letters in this autograph, and I believe all the one's I've seen authenticated have that, so I'd say it was bad based on that...but I reserve the right to flip flop at a moments notice.

Not a jester expert by any stretch... But this one looks like those that I have come across on his early 1990's classic and signature rookies cards

I say good

I hate apples autocorrect!

Come on, Dave, we all know you're an expert on jesters.

I'm not an expert but my gut feeling says the autograph is identical to one I saw on a card that was '93,,, Not exactly sure which card but that's what popped up in my memory when I saw the sig.

did a quick search here is the card

If it's a forgery, it's done by a professional. The only glaring thing to me is the front loop of the D usually comes up at a 145 degree angle, giving it a flatter look, and this one is at 120 degrees making it seem more round.

Man ! you guys are GOOD ! and Mike don't feel bad as it would have caused me to pause too if I didn't know exactly where it came from.
Its a 1995 IN-PERSON Derek Jeter signed before his first major league at bat.

Yes, similar to his 1992 contract with me
As well as his 1992 signed cards

Being that I just got home from work....

Is that the best you can do, Mr. Atkatz?

This is def a legit Jeter. Rookie or pre-rookie era. Take a look at his Little Suns signed high school cards.

Edited to add: Ooops, I didn't read all the posts, so sorry Jim, I didn't see about your post answer.
