It is not like today where we have pages and pages of auto samples to copy. where even would someone come up wiyh a known example to copy? Oh well everyone has an opinion, there always has to be a doubter in the crowd I guess.
Hey Michael,

I wouldn't focus too much on the date and what "auto samples" were around then. If it's a forgery, it likely wasn't forged in 1928. You may want to have someone take a look at the ink and try to date it first. I do believe it look slowly drawn and the "three finger" thing has nothing to do with it.

Take a look at this non-shaky example from 1946 (2 years before his death and almost 20 years after yours):

I have one that can be dated to end of 1933/early 1934 at the World's Fair in Chicago...not sure if this helps in comparison or not, but definitely closer to late 20's...

No expertise to chime in with but I would think signing a ball that looks like it was wrapped in canvas would be harder than a flat piece of paper.

I think that signature is authentic.

If You look at the baseball itself it is very poorly strung and you can see from that the signature being wablly. That is most likely due to lumps in the baseball itself. It is not like he is signing a flat document or a MLB Grade Sphere.

Just my two cents.

Same here... a very difficult surface to sign. If it has truly been in the family for that long, I vote GOOD.
