Opinion - Jim Hegan

[Huck]

Hello.

I don't usually purchase signed material that I did not personally witness, but from time to time the rules bend. I like the photograph at the link below and wanted to know the boards opinion of the autograph. Thanks in advance.

Has to be a facsimile at that price. The photo alone is worth the cost i'd think.

Interesting. I did not think facsimile. You are probably right, the team issue did not register in my brain, when reading the description. Not knowing the market/price for a Hegan signature, I thought under $20 was low but not way out of line. It is Hegan and not Mantle (although Hegan was a solid player). I assume there is no shortage of Hegan signatures out there. Since the photograph is a team issued, with facsimile, I would expect to see more of this exact photograph for sale, yes? I did a quick search and found no other photograph of this type.

You nailed it. I messaged the seller. Facsimile. Ah well, I really like the photograph. The seller did point me to another item he had:

That second one is a good Jim Hegan.
