Aaron and Mays Help
Looking for a little help from forum members concerning the Hank Aaron and Willie Mays autographs pictured. Before my grandmother passed away due to Alzheimer's, she handed these three autographs down to me. I know the Mantle is real because it was in person and is made out to my grandmother. However, I do not know about the Aaron and Mays.
To be honest I've delayed showing them off simply because I want to believe they're real. I personally don't see any red flags with the Aaron, but the fact that the Mays has dotted "i"s worries me. Thanks for your help.

Back in the later '60s I took it upon myself to send some of my "collection" to players I admired, care of their respective stadium with a fan letter and an SASE. For comparison, here's what I got back from Hank:

That's a Hank Aaron secretarial sig.

Yup, the straight lines in the "H", as I've been told, are a giveaway to his secretarial sigs. I had no idea Hank was using a ghost-signer that far back. In fact, that looks identical to the secretarial TTM I got from Aaron in the late 80s. Did he employ the same person to sign his mail for all those years?

Really? Dang! My kid-like mental image has always been of him sitting in front of his locker with a bag of fan mail.
Will post my Banks and Kaline in another thread. |
