Always hate hearing divorce when it comes to collectibles.... Tell the bitch they are all fake, everything is worthless.... after having an ex of mine steal my collection, i have vowed never to tell another female what my collection is worth period!

Jim...too funny! Thanks everyone for your opinions. It confirms what I already knew, but again I wanted some backup considering the bad time my buddy is going through. The good news is that he does have a lot of good stuff that he's purchased over the years from people like Simon, Stinson, Jack Heir and Bill Corcoran, but he does have a few pieces like these that were influenced by an old boss of his (by the way, his boss probably has at least $100,000 worth of fakes purchased from....you guessed it, CC). Yep, some people have more dollars than sense.
Thanks again guys, Mike

Well I AM an expert, and was just hired by Coach's 'sign-it yourself' Corner. And I signed those items myself, so I know they are real...Seriously, Iam no expert either, and in my limited auto knowledge know that CY Young couldnt sign his name all that elequantly, the Speaker does look like it was done quite meticulasely and you can even see the stops in the sharpie where the writer paused to reshape...and I couldnt help much on the HR Baker sig...Good luck to your friend. And you never know...we all say that we are not experts, so hopefully they are real and your friend can get some decent cash.

as a follow-up, I thought I'd share this story about one of my friends "good" pieces. He purchased a beautiful 16x20 B&W photo of Mantle in the batting cage signed Mickey Charles Mantle, from Jack Heir. I went with him to pick it up from Jack, and Jack told the story of asking Mickey to sign a couple of these photos with his middle name. Apparently this didn't settle very well with Greer Johnson (she wanted to have a monopoly on that type of signature) and Mickey turned to her and told her the Jack was one of his "boys". After another minute of complaining, Mickey turned to her again and said "I said he's one of my boys". Case closed! Just goes to show what happens when women know how much memorabila is or could be worth

Link to "late in life" HR Baker auto that I think the above example was trying to emulate, poorly I'd say.
