Default Don Drysdale Help

Hello,

Any thoughts on this ball? From examples I have seen it seems pretty good, but there are a few things that I am wondering about. Don't want to sway the jury, so I will wait to see what you guys thinks.

Thanks for the help!!

Here's my in-person circa 1991 for comparison.

Thanks for the feedback. For what its worth, I am a bit concerned about the 'D' to 'A' transition and 'l' to 'e' transition in Drysdale. And the 'a' in Drysdale just looks a bit off to me.

Maybe I am analyzing too much, but just not sure. I was hoping that somebody on here would go "That is a forged auto by so and so. I have seen those a hundred times." Not even sure if there are forged Drysdale autos on the market, but I am sure you guys do!

I like it. Agreed, the "da" looks a little off but I think it's still legit. Just part of signing on a ball.

Given the length of the signature, speed and variations in pressure, I think Drysale would be difficult to forge convincingly. I've seen a few fakes, but they all seemed pretty obviously bad.
