Opinions on my brother's 1980s era TTM autograph collection (DiMaggio, Mays, Koufax)
My brother asked me to post these photos to get opinions on the autographs he collected through the mail in 1985-1986. Any opinions are welcome. Sorry for the shadows on some of the photos.

Koufax -
Aaron - DiMaggio - Not sure Snider - Mays - Brooksie - Roberts - Palmer - Stargell - The Mays and Aaron look like ghost signers. Just not sure on Joe D - there are folks here with much more knowledge that I have on him. |

I think Dimaggio and Mays are bad. I have no opinion on the Koufax or Aaron as I can't see the full sigs due to the shadows. The rest look fine.

Aaron employed a ghost signer for many, many years TTM. The straight-legged "H" (lacking the typical loop leading into the crossbar) is a telltale sign.
I know DiMaggio's sister signed a ton of his mail at one point. Supposedly the story was Joe didn't understand the difference, and when he realized how it impacted collectors he started signing himself. At least I remember reading that somewhere many years ago. I believe that happened well before 1985 though. I think by the 80s Joe D. was commanding pretty high card show prices ($40 was a ton for a signature in the mid-80s ) so I'd doubt anything obtained TTM for free would be legit. That said, if this one isn't real, it's close, but I don't love the "J" or the "M." |

Aaron, Willie and Joe D. appear to not be genuine.
Koufax and all others look fine IMHO. |

Mike, just curious, what set are those "1969 Topps-style" cards from?
Also, I like all of them except the Dimaggio (maybe), Aaron (bad), and Mays (maybe). |
