Lajoie Opinions Needed

[tazdmb]

Got this at auction this weekend from reputable company with 30 day return policy. Looks good on surface, besides minor water damage, but just wanted to others opinions as signature is easy to replicate. the "arry" part looks a little off to me.

Thank you

Someone posted the other day about the gehrig in that same auction and many believed it was fake even though it came with a jsa letter. I also saw other lots in that auction that were fake. Just thought I'd post that, but I have no idea on this one.

But JSA never gets it wrong! Anyone else?

Thank you

Here is my example signed 3 days after yours. I have some background if your piece came with a story. There are some noticeable differences, but I'm not sure how much is too much. 2nd R, Y, and the J

I noted the date and those differences, but there also a lot of similarities. I am pondering returning it, maybe Shelley can ring in.

If one of them is authentic then I would think both are. Look at the stops in the signiture they are almost on the exact same spots.
The little dark marks on the L and the J.
Like I said I have no idea if they are authentic but I would bet the same guy signed them.
Here is one that has been authenticated same marks.

Do you know if that's a water stain to the left? Just curious if it is, why did it not smear the auto?

[tazdmb]

I mast actually send this to psa, still would be a good deal.

It's a good signature of Lajoie

I agree with Greg. Good Lajoie.
