Beckett Authenticating Bad 1919 Reds Autographs

It has been my experience that Beckett as a generalization is more likely to certify a forged autograph than JSA or PSA while PSA is most likely to reject a good one. Again this doesn't happen that often but still too often IMO

Hondo - Thanks for the comp as well, a great piece even with the tape. And there you have more damning proof of Beckett's error as those "B"s in Bill and Bedford are no where near the same

That link you sent definitely looks like a secretarial to me too.

I wish I had saved images of the Daubert and Magee cuts. I thought maybe those were discussed on Net54 as well but cant find the thread.

Will say it is not at all the sellers fault Beckett did not do a good job and these 3 are pretty rare and hard to find comps of...but not impossible

yeah those were suspicious to me, Interestingly there is another toughie pre 1940 deceased deadball player on there that is also in a tiny close cut autograph.
