Campy autos on 3x5's

[perezfan]

I like ONLY the Front Row example. A little tough sometimes to judge his post-accident auto, but the two index cards still look to be "off".

Just my .02

I appreciate the comments so far. In my opinion, the top index card bears some resemblance to the FR auto and the signatures from the signed Sports Legend statues (and the cuts taken from the statues). I've not seen a post accident auto that looks like the bottom one.

The Front Row is definitely legit. The second 3x5 I'd give a 98% chance of being bad. The first 3x5 is anyone's guess. Without actually being there for that one I doubt anyone could say more than a 50/50 guess.
Here's mine from Oct 1989 in person. I was about 10th in line so it looks pretty good. Roy used a brace, not a machine by this time (not sure exactly what he used early post accident, but this was definitely a brace to just hold his wrist/arm steady. He basically had to stretch out his fingers since the palm of his hand was stationary, and that's why you rarely see a fully formed '"a" at the end of his last name. Also, the more he signed at a given time, the sloppier it got.

Mike,

That may be the nicest post-accident Campy I've seen. Makes you wonder what the first 9 people in line received!

....and I would love to see the full photo if Mike is able to share. And thanks Mike for your comments.

Here it is from my 55 Brooklyn Dodger wall (16x20 poster matted and framed). The dumb-a$$ that was helping the promoter slapped a sticker on it before I could stop him...kinda used to it by now though.

Thanks! Yeah, this falls in to the woulda-coulda-shoulda category. Wish I would have had a couple of things signed, but $200 in 1989 was a pretty good chunk of change. If I remember right, and I probably don't, this signing was limited to 200 signatures and flats only.

That is some great info and a live recipient witness story doesn't get much better.

I bought a life magazine that was supposedly signed at one of those events. It was pretty early in the ebay days. I'd have to dig it out to see how it looks. hopefully I did not get burned.

Had been doing some excavating, so the Campy was not too deep after all. Pretty sure I have never shared any images of this before. I even managed to save a copy of the ebay auction. I wish I had done that for everything. It's not only good info, but fun to go back in time for a glimpse of what was happening at that time. Turns out, I bought this in July 2002.

If I got taken, the money hasn't been missed, at least not since around July 2002! If it's legit, I got a heck of a deal!

The COA and autograph ticket (from 1991) are meaningless at this point, and frankly were then as well. The seller was in NJ, which is a sign in the right direction, but still meaningless.

I can't make out the last name from the first name on the Cert and that business name didn't bring up anything in a quick search. Anyone have any knowledge/experience with the business or the names (if you recognize)?
