Hello... I posted this in another online forum, but I think this one is probably better prepared to answer this...
I recently made a purchase on Ebay for a "1951 New York Giants Official Program signed by Bobby Thomson & Roger Bowman" (it's actually signed "Ralph Branca," not Bowman) I just received the item and it's clearly a 2-color reprint... A couple of ways to confirm that... it's in pristine shape... and the more obvious way... the scorecard inside is written in the same blue printers ink with the details from the "Shot Heard Round The World" game. It's pretty cool... but I expected that I was bidding on an authentic item... http://www.ebay.com/itm/121119594750...84.m1439.l2649 The autos on the front seem legit... but I'm guessing that Thomson and Branca did a ton of auto shows together and brought along a replica program to sell... Does anyone know anything about this item? (ie. when it was printed? Pretty common? etc.) I think I'm going to return it, since I more wanted the original program that the autos (though those are pretty cool). There's not supposed to be returns on the item, but I'm pretty sure I'm on good grounds to do so...

He clearly says it's the official program and never says it's a newer reprint. You definitely have grounds for a return, regardless of what the seller says. Sorry I can't help with the autos......

Yes, u are entitled to a refund. Signatures look good. Leon's theory sounds right, but its up to you. If you value the sigs that high, keep it, since the program isn't worth a lot.

The tougher prospect would be finding a program signed by Thomson that WASN'T signed by Branca. Seems like everything I see signed by one is also signed by the other.

I appreciate it.
I heard back from the seller and he seems like a return is okay... so that's good.... Autos are nice... but I've got a Thomson auto on card (I think it's an Upper Deck "Shot Heard 'Round The World" card... which is nice, but I usually only have autos that I get myself or are very unusual... Cheers! -John
