Authentication help for a buddy
Hey guys, I need a little help please. My buddy is going through a tough divorce and he's having to sell some of his collection. He has several things that were purchased from very reputable dealers or that have been 3rd party authenticated by the major players, but he also has some items that are not, and quite frankly, I do not believe they are any good. I hate to tell him they are bad without some agreement as well as I would not want him to spend the money and send them to be authenticated if they are a slam dunk "bad".
Can you guys just give me your opinions on if you think he should send them in or not waste his time? Here are three...and I'll state that I think they are all bad...one is a Cy Young pencil sig, one is a Tris Speaker fountain pen sig, and the last is a Homerun Baker. The Baker, I think, looks down right terrible but my friend swears he has seen early checks that have this type of sig...I haven't and kinda doubt it. Anyway, please let me know what you think.
