Newbie with a jersey auto question

[Mr. Zipper]

I think you may be engaged in wishful thinking.

A wool jersey isn't going to turn a real Mantle signature into a known and documented forgery style.

Ditto. I was thinking the same thing, Mr. Zipper.

There is a difference between signing carefully on an old Jersey and drawing a signature on an old jersey

Forget about the Mantle jersey. I wish I would have never mentioned it.That's not what this is about. That's over.
I am asking this question about signing on different surfaces,ie wool jersey, golf ball,etc. It has to change the signature some. Degree of difficulty goes up. Please forget the Mantle. That's past tense. Live for today not yesterday.Please reply.

I am sorry. I have no idea what that means.Signing and drawing. Isaac you have taken things to a new level. Signing drawing please explain. If not for me but for anyone else that might wonder what you are talking about. Please show examples.

Signing is what we all do every day, elegant flow of pen and paper, with all it's nuances, great depth and flaws. Drawing is seeing something and trying to replicate it with your eyes when a pen is your medium..

Mke sense

A good forger does exactly what the player would do. When it come to Wool Jerseys a lot of players could not sign them because the pen did not flow like it would l on the modern day pieces. Hence you would have a great deal of bleeding. Joe D had a signing for a limited edition Jersey. Most of them where garbage because he could not sign them well. I think he should have made a drawing instead. Just ask Jerry Remalt what that signing cost him. Joe walked.
The two best I ever saw sign where Williams and Mantle most of the older players hated signing them because they had to hesitate to keep the jersey flat and not let the pen sit to long. I am not sure how many players are Picasso or Chagall but I am sure that if the two of them had to sign a jersey they would not draw there names.

Isaac just tell me how many times have you watched a players sign jersey? Not the modern day but the old Mitchell and Ness.

Shelly thank you so much. I collect mostly jerseys and what you said was what I was talking about. You hit the nail on the head. Very well put and I believe everything you said. thank you very much.This isn't your first rodeo. I owe you one Shelly

I used to have an account with M&N before it was cool and used to get a bunch of jerseys signed. If you spread the jersey out and held it tight, the item was easy to sign for players and it turned out perfectly. No difference in signature. Anyone who got Joe D in person knows how he could pretty much ruin any item if given the opportunity. Seems funnier now than it was then. The others guys are right on the money with the forged Mantle jersey talk. Hope this helps explain jerseys sigs.
