You beat me to the punch; doesn't look good at all to me

Just picked up this sweet Bob Feller signed ball. I know, I know, how rare is a Bob Feller signed ball? Well I bought it because it is from his playing days and on a beautiful Ford Frick ball.

Beautiful vintage Feller Ball, Randall! Congrats!

Thanks Matt for your "nice" comments. I like your ball as well. I was very pleased to get this for my collection. As far as a couple other members comments here, you are welcome to your opinions. I myself think the "L" is slightly smaller in size than the "G" in Gehrig with the o in Lou being closed since this is probably a 30's signed piece. If you look closely, there is a slight break after the G and the e in Gehrig and more so of the one on the pencil sig. The slant of the small g also looks to be similar with a variation of less than 10 degrees as well. I won't continue.... but I am "comfortable" with adding this signature to my collection and that is what matters. The card was acquired in a "Sunshine" state auction and I woud have bought a few more that I thought were good as well...a nice Wagner, Frank Baker letter, Bill Klem and even a double signed Cobb were fine but did not have more $$. I might add that there were "many" autographs in that auction that did not look good as well.
This Gehrig will not appear anywhere anytime soon so no worries guys.

My autographs seldom make an appearance but since there are "authenticators" out there who things don't look good at all to and might not be "real", will share a first timer........Would be interested in getting "opinions" on this one pictured below. Take your "BEST LOOKS" and then read the rest after.

Never been on the market--never on the internet--better get your data bases going here--rare rare rare--can't be GOOD...gotta be a fake....where is the slant--where is the flow--where is the "red" pen--never used pencil--you can almost read every letter--sort of like an early (MJ)--never signed that way--on the back of a movie promo for a Marx brothers film--what--------you say this person did a movie with them in 1949???? Oop!!!!!!! Oh, maybe this vintage cut Type I proof nonsense pencil signature grading perhaps a 6/7 is in fact really legit...lol--Well...I guess it would have to maybe be deemed "Likely Genuine" as it is in fact an--------- "IN PERSON" autograph...
Say it ain't so Joe!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays everyone.

(My momma always said)..."if you don't have something nice to say about someone--don't say anything at all." Good night Jim-Bob.

I would have the ink and the pencil graphite tested first! Look a little suspect to me! Oh educated experts we could use a little help here.

I guess never mind that were trying to help you out from you wasting money. But I guess a better person couldn't have bought them then, I seen the auction and could tell right away none of them looked right. If alot are fakes, then 99.9 percent of the time they are all fakes. But as long as your happy thinking it's real that's what matters.

Hey Randall. Now that's a Feller ball worthy of any collection! Congrats on a terrific pick-up.

Mark, I found this link for an auction for similar Knot hole league card etc. Looks like it may be from 1935.

Agreed. That is a terrific image of the two best friends. And the membership card /orig envelope are much tougher than the patch. Great pick-ups! BTW... The Card is from 1934.

Well Mark. I must say that you rebounded nicely from your thrashing at the hands of Henry Yee. Don't feel so bad as I got humiliated on two Beatles Photos myself.

Very excited about two Federal league programs I just picked up.

[thxforthebp]

Picked this up on eBay to go with my Wilkes Barre/Scranton collection. Might have over paid slightly not really sure of the value but it was a have to have item. I recently picked up the matching Scranton program as well. Best part is the pictured player on the 3rd base position is a 19 year old future hall of famer Bob Lemon.
