Actually now that I think about it, I have a Tristar Cert for the Bunning I believe, I have to check.

Oh and the Felix I got in person at Seattle Mariners fan fest 2 years ago, got a hat signed by him too, if anyone wants to see that.

Isaac,
The Dennis Martinez is fine and is a nice example.

I mostly was concerned with the Rogers because I don't recall him signing like that. Since you got it in person, you should have no concern.

Bunning looks a little different that I've seen him sign, but it's unlikely that anyone would fake him since his sigs are readily available.

I don't have any experience with Felix Hernandez, so I can't comment on him.

Koufax is a commonly forged autograph, but I don't feel 100% confident commenting on yours, one way or another. You may want to have others give you their 2 cents.

Thanks for sharing your collection with us!

Only thing that sucks about that Rogers ball is that there are some other sigs on it that I have no clue who they are (help with that would be nice)

Yea I have always been worried about the Koufax, big give away is the S.

Sandy usually didnt put that upline through the circle and I have a few like that, and I always thought they were fake. I have seen a few with JSA on ebay with the line through, so I started thinking they were rushed or his autographed changed. Never know.

If there is a Sandy expert here, I would love their opinion.

Isaac -

I stand corrected, and am happy to be proven wrong in this case. You can't beat an in-person signature, just goes to show how difficult this hobby can be sometimes. I agree with Scott that the Martinez is fine. No worries there.

You are lucky you got Rogers when you did. Someone must have really pissed him off at some point because he just stopped signing cold (except for big money of course).

I dont remember the story that well but I know I was out of clean balls and he didnt seem to mind there were other sigs on it. It was also during warmups so he may have not even noticed

And I just got a Halladay!!!

Might want to double check the Bunning. It's on a China ball and I doubt Tristar would use one of those for one of their signings.

[Mr. Zipper]

I'm not a Koufax expert, but you can clearly see this signature is slowly drawn. Look at the loop of the S, and the right side of the K to see the slowness. Based on that alone I'd say it's almost certainly bad. Sorry.

How did you obtain the Larsen? Perhaps it was signed a long time ago, but it seems much smaller and tighter than he has signed in quite some time.

This was my initial impression on the Koufax as well. I also want to note that I didn't realize at the time that I could blow up the size of the signature on the image. Once I read your comment, I looked at it again. When blown up it becomes pretty obvious, FWIW.

I suspect if you had it in hand, the Koufax ball would smell like fresh Florida sunshine and sand.

I actually have 2 Larsens, one is on a ball with yogi berra and the other is on a ball with David wells.

I got both at shows a while back, not sure on the years of the signatures

Tristar did use China balls unfortunatley. Believe Its from a hidden treasures product remember getting a berra if memory serves.

I just looked, the Browning I have is tristar. There is no cert for the Bunning.
