Can't speak on behalf of the others as they always confuse me!

Hope this helps,

To me, the 'r' in Maris stands out.

I like the Mantle, the Williams and the "Star" Aaron.

Not sure about the others.

Aaron and Jackson look identical to my IP signatures of them. Would think they are legit. Schmidt looks "close" to his late 80s sig, and you can't tell what the conditions were when he signed it (i.e., was he walking, in a crowd, etc.) so it "could" be real, but with someone as common as Schmidt, a known genuine example is easy enough to find.

As other stated the Maris looks pretty bad. Very forced.

Maris looks bad to me. Jackson looks good, I'm always afraid to give an opinion on Mantle but I think it's good. I think Aaron is a strong maybe and I'll pass on the others.

All of the autographs are good except the Maris.

I have owned dozens of Schmidts representing his whole career. I would not take that one if it were free. At best it is as someone said, signed while walking briskly through the airport. Worst 'M' I have seen, shaky 'S' and what appears to be a lift between the 'i' and the unusually wide open 'd'. I wouldn't spend money to send it to PSA.

What did you think Moosedog?

The Maris is a horror show, as bad as they get.
