Gehrig JSA

[Shoeless Moe]

Looks like it was signed with a marker

If this is the real deal good to know, any time I see one THAT bold I dismiss

I am not making any comments on the signature itself, because I dont want to go there with some of the wolves on this forum, however, Fountain pens from the era had several different types of "nibs" that could range from paper thin, to extremely fat. Gehrig would have used whatever pen was given him so the thickness of the pen is not a dead giveaway that it is fake. It is very bold but the ball itself has obviously been stored well so once again, black ink will hold its color on Baseballs when they are properly stored.

I will comment that the other signatures are all good, and I dont think anyone on here would dispute that. Let the "experts" on here make their statements on the Gehrig itself.

No one knows if this Gehrig is any good. Some may have opinions that agree or disagree with JSA's, but no one knows.

Bo would know

I think everyone has an opinion, but what is the upside of going on here and saying its good? If you are right people will bitch and disagree, if you are wrong people will call your credentials into question.

It only pays on this forum to call something a fake, you only get into "trouble" when daring to call somethin real.

It's impossible to know if you are right or wrong, but the reason we have so many fights here is because there are people on both sides. The green-ink '27 Yankees ball is an example.

Did someone yell at you for saying something was real?
