I think this is a great idea and would to be a part of a project like this!

Just to be clear, I am not going to take the lead on this project , but I will work with whomever is, in order to help make it a success. Many times things sound great until it's time to do something. (which is ok too) I am fairly neutral, as I don't collect autographs, but am almost always willing to lend a hand to help with operational stuff.

Sounds like a great idea to me, Scott.

Agreed, I'd love to help. I would like to see it expanded beyond Hall of Famers.

Apart from being time consuming ...Wouldn't we then need to start a "sub" forum to argue which of the examples are REAL and which ones are Not ?

Also ...most of the REAL tough examples both Hall of Fame and Non Hall of Fame are examples that most WON'T want to share for obvious reasons. Especially legit handwriting samples.

Maybe I'm missing something and sure don't want to be the fly in the ointment or what ever it is they call it but multiple autograph examples both good and bad can be easily accessed on line using any one of the major search engines in a matter of seconds.

And last but not least a false impression might be conveyed that just by comparing an autograph side by side , authenticity (or lack of it) can be determined. In reality its a little more complicated than that. IMHO

'Flies in the ointment' are good.

I google in order to make decisions, but many will google, find a sig with an associated loa, and decide that's an 'exemplar'. The expertise in this subforum allows us to make better decisions. Just wondering if we can tap our own expertise in a more organized fashion.

I could contribute a few Mantles, Dimaggios, and Williams to exemplars. I would be interested to see what others would contribute.

Excellent suggestion. The biggest thing (besides obviously accuracy with these examples) will be searchability!
