For whatever reason, people will pay 5x more for these autographs when they are encased in PSA/DNA plastic.
Some of them may not pass, though. I think at least two of the Koufax may be ghost signed, and Goslin, Combs, Faber, and Ruffing all had their wives signing for them after illnesses and strokes. Others on this board will know if these are good or not. The Goslin looks exactly like one I had denied by PSA.
PS. Make sure you get a "good" Combs.  |
Thanks for the insight. I know little of the autograph end of the hobby and as the collection is not my own I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the signatures. I hoped to avoid dealing with PSADNA but I don't want to sell an item that may be ghost signed. This is why I typically avoid such transactions. If others concur with your assessment I may just back away and return them to the owner so he may decide how to proceed. Ironically, this note pertaining to the stroke written by Comb's wife is in the collection as well.
Thanks again
Mike
