DiMaggio 3x5

I don't like the Dimaggio or the Aaron, but I think the Musial is good.

Ditto.

The Aaron looks like a common secretarial from around the time he was chasing the HR record if you wrote to him c/o the Braves. The Musial is fine and the Dimag is likely OK.

Musial - Good
Aaron - Bad
Joe D. - Questionable (looks slowly drawn to me, so I'd hold out for another)

Thanks for all the replies thus far.

unanimous opinion on the Musial, which is great.

The aaron makes sense...it is from 1983/1984 so long after the HR chase...but this signature looks much different than one i have from the early 90s show circuit...secretarial makes sense. I never like how the first "A" in Aaron connected to the rest of the last name.

for the JoeD...I guess it's not a "forgery" in the strict sense in that it was a free, TTM, early 1981/1982 example...but it also doesn't just scream fake to me. I agree that it looks a little more "drawn". Its not clearly a "sister-signed" example...so if not authentic, I assume a non-malicious secretarial signature as well. Maybe sometimes you just get one that's inconclusive. Do we know if JoeD ever legitimately signed TTM before the card show/private signing explosion in the mid-80s?

regardless...thanks again for everyone's help...great board
