Stan The Man Inc autos

[scmavl]

Has anyone bought a Musial autograph from Stan-The-Man.com? I believe it's the site run by his grandson. They will also allow you to send an item in and have it signed. If anyone has done business with them, did they have any issues? Were the autos legit (as in NOT signed by his grandson or autopenned)? If you sent your item in, did you get it back quickly? I know Stan's signature has deteriorated in his old age, but everything pictured on the site seems to be a very strong signature.

I'm wanting to send a '48 Bowman in to be signed, so any info is helpful. Thanks!

EDIT: Update on page 2.

I sent in a magazine about a year ago and got it back very quickly. Signature looks good. No issues at all, however, I have seen him charging less at shows like MaB-Celebrity etc., so that's where I usually get most of my Musial sigs. Also, if you see a picture of him over the last year or so he looks very frail, but his sig has remained pretty darn strong. Not sure how long that will last though.

I used to be a teller at the bank where they have their account. From my dealings as a teller with the bookeeper, and from what some of the veteran tellers said, it seems like a down-home legitimate family business, for what its worth. Stan is slowing down, but I've never heard of him denying an autograph. Call their 800 number and ask them.

Thanks guys, that makes me feel better. I know Musial signs so much, an unsigned one may be more rare than a signed one, but I think an auto on his RC would be great.

I ordered from them a couple of years ago and they were fantastic.

My wife just bought a signed ball for our 32nd wedding anniversary from LTD Enterprises which is run by Yogi's sons. Dale even called to make sure it arrived in time, may cost a few bucks more but these days it is nice to know it is real.

Based on the remarks on this thread, I had to check out the Stan Musial site. I agree with a comment above that Stan's signature looks very strong. For a comparison, I got this autograph of Musial in person around 1989.

If you send them the 48 Bowman rookie, make sure that you let them know whether or not you want their hologram attached to your card or not. If you don't want it and don't tell them, you might end up with it stuck to the back of your card.

Here's mine that I sent them about a year and a half or so ago. I sent $100 and I asked for it to be signed "Stan "The Man" Musial" or if they needed a higher fee to let me know, but they didn't comply and he signed it simply as shown.

The Berra Family, Bob Feller and Stan's family have been running great businesses for awhile. As with the case of Feller, I wouldn't wait too longer to send a request.

I know Musials will give bulk discounts
