The reason I have not said anything so far is that they look extremly weird to me. I like the Mantle and then I say no. I dont like the Joe or the Ted. I am sure someone will differ with me.

Not positive about the Mantle...like Shelly said, you think it looks good then it looks a bit off. I do believe the Dimaggio is good though...looks a little rushed but good, at least to me.

What do you like about the Mantle?

It just looks very similar to the known good one I have seen before, but I am still learning.

All kidding aside, I have never seen one quite like the one shown on this site. That is why it is making me crazy. The m's seem all wrong but the n look great. It is something that I have not seen.

As for Joe D., if I had a problem with it, it would be with the D. Frankly though, I see a mixture of Exemplars 2 and 3 from Ron K's book. And for Ted, I know its not secretarial and, to my eye, looks like his 3rd example. Additionally, having seen a lot of signed Perez Steele postcards over the years, including having seen many signed in front of me, many players seem to sign these in the same place on the postcard. All three of my post cards are signed in the same manner I've seen slabbed copies signed. Now this could just mean the forger paid attention to that detail, but it also indicates whoever signed it wasn't trying to hide the signature in a dark part of the artwork. For everyone, if you were me, what would you do? Who should I show these to so I can get the closest thing to a rock solid understanding if they are real or not. The thought of having a forgery in my collection is unappealing to say the least... Thanks again everyone for your efforts and opinions! M@tt

that's why so and so hasnt come on here and chimed in. there is no consensus, so he cant swoop in at the end and confirm everyone else's opinion and take credit for it. if its tricky, he is not to be found. Anybody can do the easy ones. Last edited by travrosty; 06-03-2013 at 10:48 AM. |

The Mantle has so many things wrong that it could be right. I dont like the Joe because of the J to the o. He seems to always have more space between the oe from the J. I do not like the willaims

Shelly, I'll have to disagree with you on the J to the O spacing. Joe was a bit inconsistent with that and I've seen a number of authentic ones that were similiar to this one. To tell you the truth, the one thing about the sig I didn't like as much was that the D was a little less "full" than most, but within what I feel is the paramaters of most of his sigs. Just my .02

Big Three
At first glance I liked them all. The Mantle looked good except I thought it was to spread out. I still like them all. Two are JSA and one PSA

I believe all 3 are fine, but I agree with Shelly about avoiding them. The Mantle and Williams looked questionable, but the longer you look the better they look. The DiMaggio is the best of the three to my eye, but there are so many beautiful Perez Steele's of all three, there's no reason to tak the gamble, thus I agree with Shelly about taking a pass.

In that case I think they are perfectly fine!
