Any Reggie Jackson signature experts out there?

Are the signatures on LS bats supposed to resemble an actual signature? I guess I always just thought someone at the factory just sort of made them up.

Yes they are....They get the signature to use on the bats once the player signs a contract with LS (obviously early in their career)...No one makes them up

Wait on removing the signature. Reggie still does card shows and charges anywhere from $50 to $100 depending upon the promoter(probably more for bats). Go to a show to get it signed, ask Reggie if the signature is legit (and I believe he would be able to tell). If not have him sign it again and remove the first signature. If he says it is real, have another item ready to be signed.

I would wait, too...

I do not know his Rookie signature that well, but know that these things often change significantly over time. Look at Mantle, for gosh sakes.

I could easily see this being a legit "early career" signature.

Thanks everyone!

I am sure I can help you. I need to have the bat in hand to give a valid opinion. Sent it to me and after several years of close inspection and tens of dollars in examination fees I will get back to you.

I totally forgot about my signed Reggie thread, but then I stumbled across this the other day by accident.

This is Reggie's signature on a 1981 Topps Super card.

I actually think that looks pretty close. Did Topps use real signatures on their cards?
