Gerhig Sig - Good?

[Scott Garner]

Give me a break. No way! Sorry...

Curious as to why the OP hasn't let on about the location of the ball in question. Or as to the existence of a (somewhat dated) Loa from two of the "top" TPA's.

So the ball sold in Paragon Auctions over the weekend for $3384.00

and it was PSA and JSA, so what do you all think about that?

and 11 year old COA? How long has Spence been doing this stuff? To me, it looks HORRIBLE, that GEhrig, but Im not a pro authenticator.

It sounds from the auction write-up that JSA recently re-certed the ball, too? No?

Very interesting twist, but the auto is still no good.

Gotta believe Jimmy was having a bad day because that Gehrig is at best a club house signature. With this grouping of players, it had to be a ball that was signed on multiple occasions...probably at a Boston, Det and Yankee games with a couple of others odds and ends (what the heck is Dusty Rhodes doing on there presumably almost 20 years later)?. Anyway, I've never seen any balls that gehrig signed that were even close to this. This one is slow and calculated so why not write closer to his normal sig?

There was a Dusty Rhodes who played with the Yankees in the 20s and 30s, long before the other Dusty Rhodes made a name for himself in the '54 World Series.

Could this be the same ball sold by Christie's in 1998?

Also, I'm wondering about the LOA which specifically mentions an embossed seal that should appear over Spence's signature which my eyes can't see in the scan. The wrinkle in the paper to the right shows up, but I don't see any embossing on that page. Maybe nothing, but strikes me as odd.

I'm not even qualified to be an beginning autograph expert, but I could also look at this Gehrig and say that it doesn't resemble any of his typical signatures...wow very suprised it's JSA / PSA certified...
