I thought this card was interesting in that it demonstrates the variability of player autographs over a career/lifetime. |

for players like Mantle, who signed so much, we can be sure that his autograph looks like the sharpie one on this card. (now...there are pretty good forgers out there, but many of their techniques are easily recognized) |

From other examples as well, Mickey's 'M's have changed over time. |

I've also got a cardboard box full of 1920s- DP, McGregor and Goldsmith player equipment contracts. In the contracts the player was usually asked for signature samples to be placed on the contract for use in advertising, on gloves, etc. On many of the contracts, the players signed multiple times on front and back. Interestingly, many of these sample signatures were not formal (Bill Jones versus William P. Jones). |

I remeber the time I was forunate enough to go to dinner with Joe DiMaggio (only rule, don't ask about Marilyn. No sweat, I wanted to hear baseball stories) someone asked him if he could tell the diffreence between a fake sig of his and a real one. He said, no. Tells you all you need to know about autograph collecting right there. If the person signing the sig that verify it, then who else possibley could? |

I don't buy the theory. Probably over half of the people on this board haven't closely analyzed their own signatures. I bet if I gave signature samples to Mike Gutierrez or Jimmy Spence, either one of the two would be able to point out numerous details I didn't know existed in my signature. |
