Ted Wiliams

I gotta say I have to laugh at a self proclaimed "expert on Ted Williams" guy who won't even put his name out there.

So, this one has been authenticated, but all the armchair experts here are calling the one in question fake? This is the number one reason I do not collect autographs. No one knows what they're talking about.

I hate to let steam out of your engine Squire, but I do not see any similarities to the ball the was shown by the OP. The points that were made about the open ended "d" and "a" in the suspected forgery, bears no similarities to the JSA Certed Williams you referenced amongst a couple of other points that even I can tell.

I don't claim to be an “armchair expert”,

but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

BTW, squire, why the need to remain anonymous, who cares, post your name already... this is a great discussion and maybe we can all learn something. FUDD

At one point he had it on there, don't know why he removed it unless it was fake?

And The "T" and "s" of the one in question are perfect in comparison to other authentic Ted autographs, but you're going to base it off of an opened "d" and "a"?? Then we're even, I guess

!! What you're saying is that it was impossible for Williams to have ever once signed a ball like that and I contend that his autograph can look very different in many different examples. I do agree that the flow in "Williams is not fluid, but again, it's not a guilty verdict by any stretch. There a thousand bogus Williams auto's all over ebay that a dead person could spot a mile away, but this one is not an example.

I wonder if he signs his own name open ended as well. Ban him, and move on. Kyle Barniak, member
