The Gehrig signature is perfectly fine.

David, You have seen Gehrig sigs like this?

[David Atkatz]

Absolutely. It's a late career signature.

Are you joking or what? Look at this guys listings on Ebay. He has Jimmie Foxx and Ty Cobb balls that look like a second grader signed them. Do you mind sending me a copy of a late career Gehrig that looks badly like this? thanks...

Please give me your opinion on this joke of a ball. JSAY37206, this is the authentication number, Jimmie Foxx ball that this guy has on Ebay right now, absolutely ridiculous....Ebay number is 381256028101, this ball is almost comical..."Jimmy Foxx"? Absolutely unbelievable, and I'm really surprised that more people have not commented on it...

I'm far from an autograph expert but it seems you have a strong opinion about the Gehrig and Foxx balls. I looked up the listings. Do you mind sharing what gives them away as obvious fakes?

No, I'm not joking. The Gehrig is good. But, as I've got no dog in this fight, I really don't care what you think of the signature, or what you think of my opinion of the signature, for that matter. But let me give you a little tip. If you really want someone to help you out by providing exemplars, don't get nasty first.

I did not mean to be nasty with you. My point was only that some of these autographs are a joke, and how in the Hell did they get COA's? I know you know autographs and I asked you about the Gehrig ball because I have never seen it with this much difference. The Foxx ball is a joke, and yes, it has the worthless COA...What's your opinion on that ball? Second time I've asked it. There is no way in Hell PSA certified this piece of garbage. If they did, where there's smoke there's normally fire and a lot of questions need to be answered....

Do you mean the 1920s Foxx ball? I don't like it. But I am not knowledgable at all regarding Foxx's signature.
