Opinions on this Joe D. Autograph
Posted By: Andy Cook
I own this card. It's a 1978 Grand Slam set, I think it was produced by Renatta Galasso. I bought the whole set back in 78 and it came with home addresses for all the players. I sent off a bunch of the cards, including Joe D. and got them autographed through the mail between about 78-79. A friend of mine said he didn't think Joe really signed this. Opinions?

in my non-expert opinion, something doesn't look right with the autograph; especially the Joe. Interestingly enough, I think the DiMaggio portion looks more like Dom's signature than Joe's. |

Nobody will ever know for sure, not even the experts. Probably a good chance it's real. If you're keeping it then accept it as real. If you're going to try and sell it then explain what you have here and let the buyer be the judge. |

to me.. it looks good. its a small card, and if you look at alot of old players who sign cards, they are alittle different. |

He often had a family member sign mail requests as the sheer volume was too much to keep up with. |

This nice thing with you having personally sent and received this from DiMaggio's mail, is that you just have to compare the signature to his versus common 'helpers.' Unlike with the average eBay DiMaggio signed baseball, you don't have to worry if it forged by some 15 year old for eBay. |

It looks quite consistent with the Joe D's I've seen. I would agree that it's most likely real. |

This doesn't appear consistent with his signature. |

Please have it sent to Spence and report back. I own a few authenticated Dimaggios and they have differences between them. However, they do have a few characteristics that remain consistent. I still feel that it is probably real. |

I have one DiMaggio signature, JSA authenticated, and this one looks similar enough that it is either real or the work of a really good forger. Odds are he rushed the sig, which is why it looks a bit hurried in the Joe. |

Thanks to everyone for their help and feedback. I'm hoping to get to Ft Washington either next weekend or in March, so I'll take it to Mr. Spence there. |

I believe that it's good as well. Joe D's sister did do a great deal of his signing until the mid-eighties but Joe did some of his fan mail himself around that time. This looks hurried but a variation I'm familiar with from the early 1980's. |
