Roberto Clemente Dorsey Fake Years

[Andenheber0]

Well it's not PSA, so your second guess is probably correct🙂

Is Dorsey alive? I'll track him down and ask him myself for all the grief it's caused me lol

A still well known hobby "figure" sold a number of Dorsey Clemente's.
I do not know how many but at least several.
I do not have proof of this but I do know it is true.

I do not recall seeing any Dorsey material originating before 1966. I do believe I have seen GPC's as early as 1966, but not before that--Kevin Keating

I agree with the above , in fact I have an amazing signature study that may even dispel the Dorsey myths , as to what is Dorsey and what is Roberto will add it to this thread soon , I asked both authentication companies to contact me and I would share for free but neither did ....JIM

The issue is I had the deal done to sell a 1962 Clemente Topps autographed and he sent it to JSA and the sole reason they gave for not authenticating it was it was a "Dorsey"..but I inherited it from my uncle who's collection suddenly stopped cold in 1965(coincidentally when he discovered girls in high school) and so I know he didn't write Clemente in 1966 or 1967. My estimate based on dozens of postmarks is 1962-1964. I'll post a picture but JSA said they used some spectral lighting or black light I'm not sure. Hope you can make it out-it's faded-but they didn't cite fading as an issue. I welcome opinions

I am sure that surprises nobody.
The more problems in the autograph hobby, the more money they make.

This is a good thread and should go in the main autograph section.
Leon?
