Auto opinion for this Mays and Aaron(2) please

[LEIDEMEG]

Just wanted fellow members opinions. Part of a huge collection purchased years ago from a gentleman who collected autographs thru the mail in from the early 60's to mid 70's. Out of a 70 card submission for authentication, 5 autos failed....these three and both ted williams, everything else passed. I thought the Mays was good(just a playing days signature) and wasnt sure about the Aarons. Found it weird that the Aaron signatures from the same era seemed different on the Topps Giants card and the exhibit(removed from a scrap album from the collection).

Was it like these guys to have wife/helper sign for them thru the mail, anyone know the answer. All the other 64 Topps giants autos passed(roughly 15 of them).

Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciative

For what it is worth, good or not the two Aarons do not appear to have been signed by the same person to me. The Mays sure looks ok.

'64 Topps Mays = Looks Good (older sig)
'64 Topps Aaron = Definitely Good
'Aaron Exhibit = Bad

I would re-submit the 1964 Aaron (or send it to another authenticator)

The Mays was signed by his wife. Aaron's family and personal secretary/secretaries have signed his fan mail for decades, as is the case for both the versions you have depicted.

oh well... Aaron's personal sec'ty did a far better job on the Topps

Good thing Jodi's around

I agree, the third one looks funny, the other two are tough, there are just too many secretary type signatures around
