Need opinions on six HOF autos

[tha-rock]

Thanks, guys. These did come from several sources and were probably purchased in the late 70's and early 80's when prices on this kind of stuff were not in the stratosphere, and you purchased based on seller reputation and knowledge. I think the reputable sellers had to be considered the "experts" because they had been around the hobby a lot longer than most of us in those days and had more advanced collections. I wish I had kept records on what I got from whom, but I didn't. I don't believe they were deliberately passing off forgeries- I think they believed they were good when they sold them.

I should have been more specific in my descriptions. All the signatures are in fountain pen except Jennings which is in pencil. The formation of the Js concern me in the Evers signature.

IMO Arky may be good. Mordecai is a horrible forgery (his "M's" are really cool, so that was quick to stand out). Gehrig looks almost too perfect for a fountain pen

I’ve never seen a “half” L like that before in Lou

The ink skipped on opening loop on 'Lou' in the Gehrig. Looking closely I can see the indentation of the pen on paper before the ink started flowing. I'll try to post a better picture.

The Gehrig is good.
