I got this at a card show in st. louis back in 1989. Always looked good to me im not an ink expert so I cant tell if this could be signed with something made after joe died. I am pretty sure though that it isnt black sharpie as it may appear in the scan that way. The autograph matches well with genuine tinkers, I just dont wanna pay $200 to psa dna to find out its fake. any ideas? |

As it's a signed baseball card, you can have it looked by SGC/JSA or PSA for a lot cheaper than $200. I don't follow the rates, but I thought the cost was like $20. Tinker is a rare autograph, as he died in 1948. |

If you're worried about rates, I sure can take it off your hands |

ha! nice try james I have had bad luck with psa dna in the past so even if they only charge $20 I wouldnt want to do it. When I call them I usually get some one that has no clue whats going on. When I went to see them at a show in chicago, it was chaos. I had 2 movie autographs: orson welles and stan laurel (on seperate things). The lady said "orson who"? Then they charged me $100 and in 2 hours I got a paper back saying they were fake. I refrained form telling them that my dad got the stan laurel through the mail when he was alive and stan laurel did have someone else signing his autographs. So I asked " wheres the orson welles autograoh expert? I wanna soeak to him". They looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears. Enough about my psa rant. Just wanted to get some opinions on this. thanks! |

Sean, I wish it was real, but it doesn't look authentic based on the Tinker signatures I have seen over the years. |

Its seems like it has the same characterisitics. The broken J. The way the T stretches across etc. I just dont know. |

The T in Tinker on the card is formed totally differently than the T on the cut sig. I sign my name the same way, my first name being Tom (and my middle name is Evers, just for coincidink), as the cut sig. It is formed by two strokes. The T on the card is formed by one pen stroke. |

but it does seems like an abbreviated version of the t I see on other tinkers as he woulda had to shrink his signature a bit to get it on this card. |

sgc I had a similiar psa experience with. They were at a show and it was a bunch of 25 year olds standing around a computer. I hung back and watched and basically hwo they authenticated autographs was they got online and looked up examples. If thats experience than I should be making a fortune authenticating autographs |

I had to edit my post because the early example eliminated some of the inconsistencies. Feathering occurs for example, when someone in the year 1980 takes a card from 1909 and applies a fountain pen and ink to the vintage aged paper surface. |

The age of the pen has nothing to do with feathering...it is signing on old paper that causes it. The feathering being caused by old paper absorbing an abnormal amount of the ink due to a breakdown in the composition of paper over time. |

Just send it out and have a third party look at it. Otherwise you will never know. |
