NEED HELP HOF Signed Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, etc

[soccersaver97]

I appreciate the responses guys! I guess it is better to stay away from these then? Do you think it is still worth it for the other autos? Maybe I could cut out the good autos?

Seriously??? I wouldn't necessarily call secretarial signatures "forgeries". Robinson does look labored and I would want to see it closer, but the others are non malicious secretarials in my opinion. Doesn't make the item any cleaner, but come on. Jason

I agree. Some good. Some bad. The Williams is way off.

Looks to me like someone sent these covers to the players as most of the signatures look like classic TTM returns.

#1 - the Paige is clearly not good nor is the Williams. From the size and placement, I would judge as likely forgeries (bad ones) put there long after the others.

#2 - The Jackie doesn't look right to me, and again looks added after the others.

#3 - I think the Dimaggio is good but the Campanella is a common secretarial (probably obtained TTM)

#4 is all good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy that one. Is a bit interesting with some of those guys passing away just a couple of years after the cover was issued, notably Hartnett.

Some guy bought the first three and says he "struck gold" and that they are all authentic. He said he doesn't plan on authenticating them either because it costs too much. Watch out if you see these at an auction house!
