It�s authentic

Pen signatures on matte paper don't really fade much as a rule.

How much does it affect value that the autograph was rewritten like that?

Double signed... double the auto, double the price!

I think its a good buy at that price, but for me appeal is everything. If its an item for my personal collection i�m usually inclined to be patient and a bit more generous for the right one...

Love your motivation. There is a lot of history behind these items, and its important to pass that down.

Happy collecting!

+1 about appeal

The double sig would bother me to look at and then I would end up reselling it. But then the issue as a seller is finding a buyer who can stand to look at the double sig.

I bought a Hornsby cut auto and someone had erased autos around Hornsby (it was from a team signed sheet). Couldn't see that in pics online (I also didn't ask enough questions). I kept it cuz I wasn't sure how I would feel about it later. Well, it bothered me so much that I sold it a few years later for a Bill McKechnie to add to my Reds collection.

I also agree with Dave and Tim on this.

FWIW, aside from the question of price, I have always subscribed to the idea that you always would do well to buy quality because not only will you enjoy it more now, but it will offer a better exit strategy should you ever need to sell it.

Here is one Satchel Paige autograph that I will never regret adding to my collection.

This has been my philosophy for over 40 years beginning in high school when I started collecting . Quality was always #1 , especially on the common autographs .

As everyone thinks this is authentic... what year do you think it could be? Possibly signed in 1949 or 1950? The individual who requested the autograph says in their note, "Hope you will have another good year like last year." Satch's best years in the majors were 1948 and 1949, so if they are telling him to "have another" good season, it makes me believe it would be around that time. Also, I have an opportunuty to snag it for $100, is that a good deal? Thanks for all the responses!
