Newbie with a jersey auto question

[dogmechanic]

I put a Mantle jersey up here and it got shot down which is ok. The question I have is don't you think someone's sig would look different on one of those wool jerseys than on a picture or a ball. At shows you will see signers be real careful signing one of the old wool cooperstown jerseys. With the new smooth synthetic fiber jerseys it is different ,but the signer still is real careful. Jerseys are definitely harder to sign. Whadaya think . Signing those old wool jerseys the marker does not slide like it does on a ball or a photo. Gotta "dig in". Stretch it out

I think you may be engaged in wishful thinking.

A wool jersey isn't going to turn a real Mantle signature into a known and documented forgery style.

Ditto. I was thinking the same thing, Mr. Zipper.

There is a difference between signing carefully on an old Jersey and drawing a signature on an old jersey

[dogmechanic]

Forget about the Mantle jersey. I wish I would have never mentioned it.That's not what this is about. That's over.
I am asking this question about signing on different surfaces,ie wool jersey, golf ball,etc. It has to change the signature some. Degree of difficulty goes up. Please forget the Mantle. That's past tense. Live for today not yesterday.Please reply.

I am sorry. I have no idea what that means.Signing and drawing. Isaac you have taken things to a new level. Signing drawing please explain. If not for me but for anyone else that might wonder what you are talking about. Please show examples.

Signing is what we all do every day, elegant flow of pen and paper, with all it's nuances, great depth and flaws. Drawing is seeing something and trying to replicate it with your eyes when a pen is your medium..

Mke sense

A good forger does exactly what the player would do. When it come to Wool Jerseys a lot of players could not sign them because the pen did not flow like it would l on the modern day pieces. Hence you would have a great deal of bleeding. Joe D had a signing for a limited edition Jersey. Most of them where garbage because he could not sign them well. I think he should have made a drawing instead. Just ask Jerry Remalt what that signing cost him. Joe walked.
The two best I ever saw sign where Williams and Mantle most of the older players hated signing them because they had to hesitate to keep the jersey flat and not let the pen sit to long. I am not sure how many players are Picasso or Chagall but I am sure that if the two of them had to sign a jersey they would not draw there names.

Isaac just tell me how many times have you watched a players sign jersey? Not the modern day but the old Mitchell and Ness.
