Wanting get it slabbed but don't know who...

[pencil1974]

So I have this Williams I want to get slabbed but don't know who to send it to. Let me know what you think of the card and who do you trust to slab it.

Also how much does it cost. I usually just get my regular cards graded but want to get this in a slab to protect it. Thanks for any help.

the cost is around $25 for psa, and they might slab it but i don't think it's ted's sig.

I'm not an expert on his signature, but normally when the "illi" in Williams is not all about the same height, it tends to be a forgery.

From what I've seen it looks like his earlier signatures more than the later ones, but thats what I want to find out. I have nothing to lose like I said as I bought from a card shop with 100% guarantee that it was real and they would pay for any fees I incur if it comes back fake. How can you pass that up.

it's already protected in a holder, why spend more>?

is there a nuclear blast coming, we need everything in blast proof holders?

This is classic.

We should have a contest: participants each sign an old Ted Williams photo and we see how many of them are deemed authentic by PSA. I bet we could hit at least 10%

What's classic in that quote Scott?

i had a similar gpc teddy and i asked for opionions on here (search for thread). consensus seems to be likely not teddy's sig and a clubhouse as the red sox was away during the gpc stamp date.

i've looked for there's seems to be similar examples where they all share the same traits: the e & d in "ted" don't connect, the d is open and doesn't have a tail, and the "m" has 4 lines and seem to be inverted like a "w". these traits don't jive with authentic vintage williams signed at all. again i've seen psas recently certed signed 1959 fleer williams cards that have these traits, but based on these evidence i would not be comfortable owning them.

edit: forgot the a also have the weird double loop in it also.
