opinion on these HOFers please

[theshleps]

Thanks Kirk. I think the Cronin and Aaron are good but not 100% +. I kind of agree with you on the Giles/harridge but hard to imagine why someone would forge one name especially Giles (in a flair pen). I have a 3rd one that is slabbed which I am attaching. To me these unslabbed ones look better than the slabbed especially the Harridge. What do you think? I want one for my collection. Can range from all good to all bad to all mixed so I am confusedzz 1957 Topps #100a Harridge Giles .jpg.

i really dont think the harridge on the right is good , the card on the left the giles is way closer with a harridge that looks good so card on the right wouldnt make it because it does appear harridge was added to me , the slabbed one giles is dead on but the harridge is just a bad looking signature i guess. real but just not pretty. you could submit the one on the left but beware the vintage stuff just gets failed now and i doubt it would pass psa anyway, i doubt they would pass the slabbed one again. not real consistent anymore

I had an auction house submit both Harridge/Giles cards. I tend to agree with your opinion though I do think the harridge you do not like could be good as I have seen some other late in life signatures of him like that but could be forged
These were submitted to PSA and JSA. One of the companies liked both Harridge but rejected both Giles, the other company said both Giles were good but rejected the Harridges. Jim Stinson agreed with us (one good and one bad on each card). This is what makes the hobby so frustrating. Thanks for your input. Any opinion on my 1936 Tigers scorecard in a separate post in this section?

maybe its just me but the scorecard has some concerns , maybe it is the pen used or something but quite alot arent typical signatures. simmons rowe goslin and few others. i look at something like that and at any given moment a signature gets off some, on a piece with multiple signatures not a big chance they are all off , if that makes sense. not sure what pen was used , fountain pen? which isnt so common on a game signed scorecard , most are pencil , but not impossible i suppose. some pieces i just say it may be good but it may not be me , your first impression is usually on. i would be interested to see what stinson says on this one

have never tried to upload anything i will give it a shot

here is the other part it is a similar a 1928 score card in pencil goslin again , moe berg sam rice ray schalk bucky harris . this was just laying on my desk , but 100% real see the difference in signatures? even ina rush they still hold the same characteristics as 3x5`s gpc etc, maybe one off but common, so is the pencil

Jim liked the scorecard tho was unsure on Simmons
