New to Dimaggio autographs

[shelly]

He had a deal and signed thousands of baseballs for them. They took there forged ones and mixed them up. Then they made a deal with GAI and had them all authenticated. Thiis happens to be an authentic one. You had a 30 percent chance of getting a good one.

I won't take your money from you, Shelly....I'll take that bet.

You know what I find amazing is that no other person has come on and said good or bad except three people. Where are you JoeD and the rest of you.

The truth is, Shelly, DiMaggio is one of the most difficult sigs to "authenticate."

The majority of people who look at a "Joe DiMaggio" autograph really don't know what they are looking at.

There are many people who make fun of "me and my trained eye," but it works for me, and it comes from looking at a ton of autographs every week.

I believe there was a story in the DiMaggio biography how he signed for B&J and there were cases of signed balls in the B&J warehouse. A day or two after DiMaggio had left, the amount of signed items had mysteriously doubled in the warehouse.

Thank you Shelly and Tom. Lots to digest and more analyzing needs to be done on my behalf. Thank you everyone for the assistance.
Recap, Ball is good but pic is not.

[shelly]

Ball is good and the Picture That should help you.
If anyone thinks the Dimaggio ball is good please chime in I think Tom is wrong on this one.

I will absolutely defer to you here Shelly. I still say it is quite fugly and would rather go after a nicer example if I was the OP.

Sorry, but that Joe D. on a baseball is a forgery.

[shelly]
