Roberto Clemente: Autograph Help Please

[Polarboy]

Hey all, saw this one recently, and was wondering what you all thought! Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I saw this exact piece over on ebay. Passed because the auto looks like Dorsey's.

I don't know what you mean by Dorsey's but I don't like it. But......I am not close to being an expert

Google Clemente and Phil Dorsey autugraphs. He was a close friend of Roberto who signed for him, with Clemente's blessing. But PSA and other authenticator's have passed many many Dorsey autos. I'm far from an expert but the 6s at the end of this one definitely look like a lot of the Dorsey autos.

Gotcha! I never knew that! Thanks for the help. Was a bit out of my range, but I have a big item scheduled for sale, so was just window shopping.

I have one of those and have resigned myself to the opinion it’s a Dorsey. The Clemente Day posters with the facsimile that also is autographed in fading black markers are Dorseys. A large number of them were discovered in his estate after he died. There was also a sizeable amount of Dorsey signed Clemente Day programs. The only authentic Clemente Day signed posters I have seen do not have a facsimile signature. He was given some of those which he actually signed for friends and family.
