Maris, Mantle, Tresh, Yankees Ball

Soooooooo, you're basing the authenticity of the autograph based on it being addressed to someone that also has the same address on a good autograph for another player? Wow.

Dosen't everyone do the same process - Coaches Corner - Chris Moralas - STAT - and so on and so on - are you buying stuff from them or just walking away assuming it's bad. Maybe you would like to buy some mantles from me they come with full letters or i can list them on ebay because they are from one of the good sources - Chris Williams would do an Omen move his head would spin around - lol

Ok..so now you're comparing yourself to Coaches Corner, Stat, Morrales? I've heard enough thanks. Beam me up Scotty.

You took it wrong - I WOULD NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE - and i would not expect you to as well - I just phrased it incorrectly - my point was we all in some way make decsions on where the material came from or who's selling it.

Frank, fair enough. It's just that I've seen many collections where they had balls, pictures, etc etc that were signed "To" someone, yet they didn't get them in person. There's no way to know who actually signed them unless you were there, or have "known" exemplars of the sig or writing to help make the determination (by the way, the rest of the writing looks bad too).
It's very easy to have an actual authentic sig be deemed bad. Maybe the signer was having a bad day, was sick...whatever...just enough to make his sig a little different. It's not the authenticators job to guess that maybe that was the situation so they would probably determine it wan not good. As easy as that is, there is no way to make a really bad sig authentic...which is the case here. Sorry, but that's not just my opinion. Many people here that could blow my knowledge away are thinking the same thing.
I think we would all appreciate you letting us know what the outcome is of the Mantle ball. Good luck in your future transactions.

Frank,

FYI, head spinning around was from that "other" demon movie called The Exorcist
