Hi Lucky,
Got your message. Although I know some signatures fairly well, Clemente is not one of those. If I don't know the sig well, I tend to not comment because I don't think it's fair to the person asking if my opinion is little more than a guess. I feel that some of the peeps that know Clemente will chime in eventually but unfortunately, I don't know his sig well enough to opine. Good luck, Mike |

Clemente is tough and many (including PSA and JSA amongst others) used to get it wrong. I will admit that I generally steer clear of Clemente unless i am very convinced about authenticity (looks good to me and a program page or multi signed autograph album). Items that could be signed in person at the ballpark. With what I consider limited knowledge, I would say this looks like the thru the mail secretarials that were common from that period.
Maybe Jim or Richard will chime in with more details. Jason |

I think the answer may lie in the last letter of first name?
Hello Jason,
I know when it comes to a Roberto Clemente auto, there have been many collectors that have been faced with a reality that their auto is actually not genuine. I am in no way an expert when it comes to autograph authentication but i do try to research as much as possible in order to increase my odds of not purchasing a non-authentic piece. I owe a ton of gratitude to a couple of board members here for keeping me on the right path over these many years. I believe that the key may lie in the last letter of his first name. Because most of his autographs don't exhibit that characteristic of a loop back over the T, i would figure that if it was a forgery, they would be made to look like all the rest of the Clemente autos. I have seen the Phil Dorsey ones and to my knowldege, this signature is different in slant, flow, certain letter characteristics. I then found 2 other autos that i used a a benchmark. One can be found on the PSA/DNA Auto Facts on Roberto Clemente, and the other on a Roberto Clemente check. You can see the similar characteristic on the loop over the T. I may still be far off base..LOL I have left them here for you and other board members. Thank you again for your much valued input. |
