Dimaggio HOF postcard - Heritage Auction

[isaac2004]

Not an expert on Dimaggio, but that "D" is off in my opinion

[JimStinson]

The "loop" at the end of the signature is usually the tell tale sign that Sis signed it, She also signed for brother Dom but not as much as for Joe.

Jim,

Not sure what you mean by the 'loop', but do you think this is legit? I was going to contact the auction house, but didn't want to make a fool of myself.

Thanks.

You Can judge for yourself but have attached an image of one signed by his sister, note the loop at the end of the "o" in Dimaggio. Right below it is a facsimile (on the photo) of his real autograph, Vintage style but real. Do you see the difference ? He usually ended his name with a dot

I think he was confused by the word "loop". What Jim is referring to is the tappering off of the pen after the "o" is completed. Joe D did not taper off like that at the end of his signature.

He is also right on the "." above the "o", that is one thing non-Joe examples never have

The "dot above the o" is the dot of the "i."
