Is this real?? Ted Williams Auto

[shelly]

Not when it come's to Willams, I said I would not buy because of the open d. I would not buy it if it had an open a. It might be good but there are hundreds of good signitures out there why would I buy one if I had doubts?
This is a fake Williams done by the and east coast foger be honest what would most of you said real or fake.

I agree with Shelly. If you have doubts then pass on it since it might be couple hundreds buck you are gambling on. But if it is only $30 I would take the risk in this case.

Agreed, the problem if it is bad then it is thirty dollars down the drain. I will go half with you and see what they say with a quick opinion. Or with your ok I will put it up for sale on ebay and ask for a quick opinion.I a interested to say what they say.

I'm not claiming to be a Williams expert, but this one would strike me as suspect. The d doesn't look right and the transition from the d to the W appears a bit wobbly with too much "thinking." A clearer image might be more telling.

Thanks Mr Zipper for putting it up on ebay for the quick opinion! I just sent you a PM I want to pay you the $7 for it. You did that without any agreement to be reimbursed. I think that is amazing!!

So my next question would be what about the quality of the signature and the ball from the pics I posted?

Would any of you think I should pay the extra $$ to get it graded or just authenticated?

I am not an expert at all with this, I am just getting back into the hobby, but this ball and signature look really really nice compared to alot of the other signed Williams balls that I have seen online.

Zip, you the man.

If your going to sell it maybe but if your going to keep it no reason.

I thought Shelly did the psa quick opinion. haha

Depends you want to resell it or not. If you want to sell it then get it graded too. I think it is 8-10.

I thought it was me as well.
I have a problem with someone telling me a grade on a modern day ball. The open d will bring the signiture down. The ball and signture are strong except for that. Why would you pay more to have it graded. If comes out and eight he will loose money for no reason what so ever. I look at a ball and want to know is the ball clean and the signiture real that is what is importand. He will also get dinged because there are numbers on the ball.

I think you are confusing me and Shelly.

Shelly posted it for the PSA Quick Opinion.

I contacted you through private message regarding another expert's opinion.

In any case, looks like you got quite a steal. I am not into grading autographs, so I'm probably not the person to ask about that. IMO it is a strong, bold autograph... No need for a formal grade.

You won the golden ring for $30 if you are going to keep it. Don't spend another dime.
