1999 Yankees World Series Baseball

[Mr. Zipper]

I'm not stating that it is bad, but I can see why PSA failed it.

Maybe it's a function of being rushed, but there are at least a few atypical signatures on this ball. I've been collecting these sigs for a long time.

* Not loving the Rivera at all. If I saw that as a single signature on a ball, I wouldn't touch it. I have over 50 Riveras in my collection and have studied him closely for 20+ years.

* Jeter ends very strangely

* Brosius is atypical

* Not loving O'Neill

What also puzzles me is how did he obtain these at a show? The last big public signing Jeter did was at the NY Coliseum in January of 1996. I was there. He NEVER appeared at any of the Meadowlands shows. To my recollection, neither did O'Neill. By 1999, the team was too hot and most of the big names were no longer doing those NJ shows. I waited 17 years to get Brosius on my 1998 Yankee print.

Again, I'm not saying it's bad. But, between the atypical examples and the story that doesn't add up... I'd get it looked at by someone else.

In my opinion, JSA is very good with Yankees from this era. It may be worth running it by them for a second opinion.
