Opinions requested, Mantle, Mays, DiMaggio

[Brandon554]

Hey guys, I have a buddy selling off part of his collection and he asked me to go through some items and give my opinion on what I though was good and bad. This is around 30 years of auction material to go through and its been hit and miss. I gave him some lukewarm opinions on some, and wanted to hit up the more experienced crowd here. As always, much appreciated.

Apologies for the cell phone pics.

You are talking so bad that you should have known this yourself.

IMO, all signatures of all players are GARRRRRRRRRRBAGE

The bat is bad I agree, had some hope for the ball, and I was lost on the last one... I am no good with Mays and DiMaggio

I spent 6 hours looking over his stuff, its a shame how much this guy has spent over the years and the amount of bad items he had. Appreciate the opinions and the smack to the head

Brandon: I'm guessing he got all of these items at a bargain price and just couldn't resist. I've seen this over and over at locals auctions where people think they are getting a deal; plus they are lured into a false sense of security by the presence of some fly-by-night "letter of authenticity". Maybe it's greed, maybe it's ignorance, or a combination of both. I think of all this garbage hanging on peoples walls and it just kind of makes me sick.
