Here's one from the REA auction. Notice the plate is different, though I don't know what if any legitimate variations exist. The REA catalog says they don't know how many presentation copies were made, perhaps 500, but the highest number they'd seen was 250. In other words, the eBay book is numbered higher than REA has seen. |

I am no expert on autographs but the "M" in Mathewson is certainly suspect. It is obvious that the same person signed both Presentation copies. Whether it is secretarial or Matty we may never know. |

The REA one is much smaller, the line after 'presentation copy' doesn't extend past the 'h' in 'Won in the Ninth' and has dotted lines above the solid lines. At first I thought the dots might be the way the typer typed, but there are also dotted lines where the signature was signed. |

There was a Mathewson book like this that sold in the Sotheby's Halper auction (lot #410). The auction description is vague to say the least. I'm guessing the signature is secretarial. If I had a choice I'd take Steve's copy. |

At the time there was no mention of PSA/DNA. |

Mike Gutierrez authenticated autographed items for the Halper auction. |

With a selling price of over $16K I'm assuming the buyer felt it was signed by Mathewson. |

Feelings may be good, but I'd sure like some more details from the article I posted above. Here's the complete text: |

Dont collect autos, so probably a stupid question but, when secretarial sigs were done did the person signing try and sign as close to the original persons signature as possible, because the only difference i see is the M. |

Secretarial signatures generally do not and try not to mimic the authentic signature. Most secretarial signatures are obviously different. Like you writing 'Joe DiMaggio' in your normal handwriting. |
