I never said it was not authentic but what made me say that I would not buy it is the visual appeal of it. I didn't like the appearance of Mickey's first time with that long drooping descender on his first "M" , it looks like somebody bumped his arm when signing or the pen jumped when he brought his pen down and around on the descending and turn and ascending part of the "M" in Mickey
;the elongated "n" in Reggie Jackson"s last name, the apparent start and stop in the "E" and angle of the "E" in Ernie Banks' signature from beginning to end, and, finally, that long line from Killebrew"s "w" into the base of McCovey's last name.
I am no expert just a collector and there are much more knowledgeable people on this site than me, but the visual appeal of the signatures matter to me. Just my 2 cents worth.
