Walter Johnson 3x5 cut?? Help please....

While I am okay with elements of it, I don't like the severe angles on the "J" and I don't like the "W" or the "r" in his first name.

Thank you for your feedback. That's about the way I felt as well. Cheers, Scott

I think a lot of people are hesitant to comment on this auto. I am uncomfortable with it and that is a reason I did not bid on it. I do not believe it will pass PSA and there are others that the seller was selling or has sold that I do not believe would pass. I find it ironic that he has a bunch of Hollywood signatures then a number of very tough HOFers on cuts on 3x5’s.

When there are few comments on something, the silence is deafening.

BTW, i am not for or against PSA but hitching your wagon to a company may not be the best way to accumulate an incredible collection. You are going to get a number of anti authenticator comments on the board going forward, but I do think they serve a purpose for the industry. I just don’t think you should solely rely on them as the end all.

It’s always good to have another advanced collector on Net54 so welcome. Take care, Jason

Agree with everyone else here-
1) Welcome to the boards, I hope you share your collection with others here, you will find a wealth of knowledge here.
2) Many people here (myself included) are reluctant to give opinions, unless they feel very certain either for or against. Fortunately, there are a lot of very smart people on these boards that can quickly identify the good from the bad.
3) Personally, I have moved my BBHOF collection away from cuts and have virtually none in my collection. I once had a Pop Lloyd cut that everyone thought was good-but PSA failed, so I pretty much never bought another cut again. That being said, I still have many regrets selling it.

I look forward to more of your posts!

Thank you Frank!! I tend not to like to self-promote but I'll try and share when time and purpose are in alignment. Best, Scott

Thanks for the thoughtful post Jason. I decided I wanted to securely and permanently protect my collection so that is why I went the PSA route. I do shy from cuts but have had to go that route with a couple of more difficult signatures. My collection, my preference

I appreciate the welcome and hope to try and check things out here more frequently.

I like cold cuts better than autograph cuts. Cold Cuts don't leave a bad taste in your mouth like 95% of all autograph cuts. I'd pass.

Leave it to Fuddj to come up with the funniest post on this thread.
LMAO.

This Ebay seller has been posting some fairly good forgeries for a while. I'm sure a lot of people have been had since you first posted it.

Welcome Scott- excuse my ignorance but what is FCB? I love net54 but would like to know of another besides it and SCN which doesn't compare
