Some really nice pieces, Fred! I'd be a bit concerned about that Johnson ball, though. (Just my opinion.)

David- could it be due to the ball being enhanced (which I assume means traced over)?

[David Atkatz]

Yeah--that could certainly be it. (It does mean traced over.)

With a thick/dark tracing over like that, is there really any way to determine that what's underneath is authentic? Isn't it just guesswork, when the tracing over completely masks the original?

[David Atkatz]

An "enhanced"autograph is virtually worthless, so it really doesn't matter much.

Took me over a decade (starting in '81) to fill this 1939 first day cover.
I wanted players that played then, although Waite Hoyt retired in '38.
Most of the sigs I got in person at various shows in the East Coast like
Ted Williams in '88 at Atlantic City when he obliged by using a green pen
like Ty Cobb would use.
I gave this to my son in the fall after he had a son, so this could be handed
down yet again.
