Ken Boyer

I got about 50 Boyer autographs in the 70s and early 80s during spring trading when he was with the Cardinals as a coach , advisor and manager.
I say no to this one . The last name flow and character formation especially the
“yer” doesn’t look right . Not a common autograph but findable on 3x5s and for a bit of a premium on single signed baseball and 8x10s but baseball cards are truly rare and treasured by collectors .

I've actually seen one authenticated Boyer on a '63 Fleer. It was part of a lot of 65 signed cards that was auctioned off by an auction house. The lot was then auctioned of individually by Greg Morris Cards. I bid on a number of cards and won three: Lou Clinton, Vada Pinson, and Willie Mays. Not knowing the rarity, I bid up to $100 on Boyer but was outbid by a mile, with the final bid being over $160 before adding in the buyer's premium.

That was three years ago, and this is the first one I've seen since then.

You can do a PSA/DNA Quick Opinion for an eBay item for $10. I’m about 98% sure it’s no good.

I ended up doing that late last night. It came back as "Likely Not Genuine," so you all were right.

Thank you again.

I'm working the '64 Giants set autographs and am at 56/60, with Boyer being one of the last four I need. There was one that came up recently (Probstein) that was slabbed by PSA/DNA. That one went for $232.

I feel your pain.

Big Daddy, can I take a guess on the last three you need (aside from Boyer?)

Roberto Clemente
Dick Farrell
Vada Pinson

[Republicaninmass]

Dick stuart in that set as well?

Thought he might have been tough

Interestingly enough, beyond Boyer, Clemente and Farrell are the last of my needs for my signed 1963 Fleer set.

Close, still need Clemente, Farrell, Boyer and Mays. Was able to pick up a Pinson last year. Mays has been surprisingly tough as most that show up on Ebay are fake - either forged or signed by his wife. There is a bad one on there now.

Yeah, Stuart is in there. He was the last one that I picked up and he is tough to find.
