Autograph opinions

If other people like it and are better with Mantle and Maris than me, that's great. Bottom line is that I buy based on my opinion and experience rather than expecting everyone to agree on everything that is out there.

Jason,
My comment wasn't to try and convince you that the photo is authentic. I was merely providing background on it's history, which is part of any assessment of autographed items. You have your opinion and I respect that.

I get it. I was commenting more on the fact that I got a request to help with an opinion and I gave it. Then I see there is a thread about disagreement over the item. Then I see two more individual threads about both autographs. It's no big deal.

I would disagree that everyone agrees on "easy" ones as PSA rejects many authentic autographs and many of those I would consider fairly easy. Not to bring another sore subject in, just giving an example.

Bottom line is its not my item and I have not been offered it so I will just watch my own bobber until it involves my money. Hope everyone had a great 4th. Jason
