Is this 1971 topps Gil Hodges autograph real?

[Gary Dunaier]

Just for the sake of comparison, does anyone have an authentic 1971 Hodges signature they can post here?

Here's my late 40s auto.

Here's mine from the mid 50's.

If PSA charged ten cents to examine the card you will have wasted twenty cents on it.

Well, at the end of the day, it was a nice 10 cent gamble. Don't blame you for trying. If I was unsure, I would've bought it for 10 cents too

My question would not be if the autograph is real (Its not) but based on your scan who is the diabolical individual who shot Hodges through the head ? Was that card anywhere near the "grassy knoll" in Dallas ???? Looks like a bullet hole and a fake autograph.....

No bullet--it was a shaving cream pie.

[Republicaninmass]

certainly wasn't 10 cents

So I had to send in the Hodges just to find out what PSA would say and it came back as DO NOT PROCESS. What does that mean? If they think it’s fake don’t they put AUTH?

Are you fricking kidding me. Do you want to buy some ocean front property as well? That was probably the worst Hodges fake anyone on this forum has seen and you still paid PSA to tell you the same thing. As the saying goes, “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

That moment when someone asks you for your opinion and then does the exact opposite.

Well, I’m glad I didn’t listen to all the people here saying it was the “worst” forgery ever, “buy oceanfront Property” etc.

I saw another 1971 Auto that was so similar I couldn’t believe it,
So I had to send it in. It was worth the Gamble to send to PSA considering the other 5 autographs I got from that .10 cent box were legit.

So, I called PSA and asked what the deal was with “do not process” label it came back with and why if it was such an aweful forged card as 100 percent of the people here are saying why did it not come back AUTH?....which as you all know is for forged cards.

PSA told me it was deemed “do not process” because they could not determine one way or the other if it was real... so maybe it’s not as off as everything thinks??? And PSA did not charge me for it !! I’m sure if they thought it was fake those greedy buggers would have gladly taken my money.

What’s your experience been in these situations with “do not process” cards
They can’t determine?

Thanks
