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...

[mr2686]

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

[daves_resale_shop]

I hate apples autocorrect!

[GKreindler]

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

[Sean1125]

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

It's a good early Jeter graph

[yanksfan09]

Like a poster mentioned, it's the same style from the circa 1994 signature rookies cards. Looks good to me.

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.

[JimStinson]

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.

Typical 1994 circa Jeter sig.

[kengoldin]

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

A little late to the party, wouldn't you say?

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

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

[David Atkatz]

Well, I could have chimed in and announced it was a good, early signature, but since others had already stuck their necks out saying so, and Jim had already confirmed what the signature was, I felt it would be just a bit unnecessary.

So I didn't.

You mean like in the Prisco thread, when you felt it was probably unnecessary to comment any further after Leon posted the letter from Prisco's lawyer.

[David Atkatz]

Same old, same old. I guess that's the best you have.

Yep, but it's a good one worth repeating over and over again.

[David Atkatz]

Well, I'm sure you will.

The truth, notwithstanding.

I actually own two each of those early Jeter "Rookie Signature" autographs. I love his early sig.

[Mr. Zipper]

If you want a Jeter, these are the ones to get. The mass-produced Steiner sigs are about as rare as dirt and he may be signing them for anther 50 years. He won't be signing rookie sigs ever again.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

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.

Pretty sure they have some of that "Yankee Stadium Game-Used Dirt" signed by Jeter available....

[travrosty]

i think jester was a computer generated freudian slip.

[HOFautosChris]

Some one say early Jeter autographs ?
Was quite the friend of the sharpie his one time through Rochester Ny. A few were obtained through Arizona Fall League as well. Yankees 8x10 obtained in person at early 90s all star game.







Most recent Jeter.
