I don't like it, and it has nothing to do with the autograph, but it does have to do with the Hologram.

Ted Williams only signed for UDA and Green Diamond, and even Green Diamond has some controversy-There should be no other hologram on a signed Ted Williams photo. Many fakes used phony "shiny, look at me" hologram stickers that to most true collectors scream -Run away, fast.

If someone else, can correct me on the hologram, I will apologize and erase this post. Until then, I would pass.

UDA is great but why not go for a vintage? A playing days fountain pen sig has so much more appeal to me.

It's worth it to me to pay more for the sure thing cert than to have to become an expert on his sig and make a judgement call. And I'm maybe a rare collector in this regard, but I don't care much when they signed the item, unless their signature got REALLY bad in old age (Hank Aaron being a great example of that).

Understood. I like the UDA idea then. His sig was still wonderful at that point.

bold mine: Ted's did too, check out some of those upper deck certified sigs he did, they look just awful.

It is a forgery

Every time I see two dots over the s makes me think it cant be real. I will stick with that theory and say.

I agree the photo looks bad.
Upon enlarging and zooming the photo I noticed the hologram ,as did Taz, appears to be a generic hologram sticker that you can buy anywhere and i agree with Shelly about the 2 dots on a Williams signature but in this case the lower and more posterior dot appears to be on the picture as an artifact or part of the background grass or dirt. I am not trying to be a smartass .
