Thoughts on Authenticity

[Archive]

Interesting... a rather mixed bag of responses, but no real tell-tale signs to dispute authenticity. Lots of "circumstantial" evidence, with all the other Labels listed concurrently, and the "miracle" LaJoie Bat find by the same seller. Interestingly, the LaJoie Bat has not garnered one single bid since the original NET54 post.

I would have guessed the Baseball Label would sell for much more than the low $400s, if authentic. Perhaps others had resevations as well. As nice as the lithography appears (and compared to similar ad signs and posters of the era), I would have expected this to easily exceed $2,500.

Let's see if the seller posts more in the future, or whether he sold all his inventory in one single shot... thanks for the responses!
