Opinions...Real or Fake?

[ullmandds]

I picked up this relative obscurity on a whim. I know nothing about this 1926 memorial benefit tag supposedly given out at a game in 1926 honoring matty.

here is one that sold a few years ago.

Does anyone know anything about these?

I don't have any opinion about authenticity, but one notable difference between yours and the one in H&S is that yours appears to be hand-cut.

I don't know anything about this either. But looks like yours is a 2nd generation copy of the original in Huggins. The Huggins is a clean looking photo. Yours isn't to me. Also strange lines around top of the front... and yours looks very bright and white to me... I'd be skeptical but just my novice opinion on these piece.

It looks like a low quality copy to me also.

This is from the linked image. See how clearly the NY is. Then look at how washed out the one pictured in the thread is.

I agree yours looks to be some type of copy but honestly why would someone reproduce that? Seems odd to me.

i think you guys are right...doesn't look good to me...time to avoid this seller.

Avoiding the seller makes sense. About whom should we be concerned?

People forge $1 autographs. There are fake items from 1 cent to millions of dollars.
