Request 4 Auto Auth Opinions: Raw Mantle, DiMaggio, Maris, Munson, Baseball Stars

[meatloaf]

I sent all of these in for PSA/DNA quick opinions. However, they all came back as "unable to render opinion." I was hoping this would not happen, but the pics are not very high res, so I should have expect as much.

I do not own these items; however, I am interesting in buying them from various parties. All of these items are raw and include no COA or other paperwork.

I am looking to get opinions from the large pool of auto experts on the net54 boards regarding these items. I will willing to take financial risk on them if they have a good chance of passing PSA/DNA authentication down the road (my plan after buying). I have placed small descriptions based on what I know of each. In some cases, I lay out my own opinions...but I AM NOT AN EXPERT, so please chime in if I am obvious WAY off.

Thank you in advance.

Meatloaf in NC (snowed in here at this time, got 9 inches on the coast, unreal!)

8x10 Mickey Mantle Auto (IMO, it looks good)


500 HR Hitters Auto Postcard from 1982 (IMO, these look good)


Munson Auto Yankees Team Ball (No clue here, on care about the Munson)


Maris Auto 1983 All-Star Baseball (no clue here)


DiMaggio Ball 1 (no clue here)


DiMaggio Ball 2 (looks sloppy and slow, may be junk?)


DiMaggio Ball 3 (looks sloppy and slow, like #2, may be junk?)

3000 hit ball looks ok, that is it.

I will weigh in on a few that I know well, overall it doesn't look good. In my opinion, no on the Mantle items, the Dimaggio balls, and the 500 HR cover, and the Maris is hard to see but doesn't look right.

TY everyone for the opinions. Looks like "avoid" overall here

That "500 HR" piece is an item you would see on Coach's Corner with a COA from Chris Morales, Ted Taylor or Drew Max.

Yikes!!!

unable to render opinion?

Anyone who knows autographs can tell these are common forgeries. PSA/DNA just wants you to send them in and pay full price for them to tell you they're bad.


The 3000 Hit ball and Mays are good

If PSA/DNA can't render an opinion, accurate or otherwise, on that junk, they should just close up and go home.
