HOF Auto's Part 1 (Scan Heavy) - Ozzie, Morgan, Sey Hey, Bench, Aaron, Seaver & Ted

[JollyElm]

I'm just a lurker around these parts, but I thought I'd jump in and ask for some opinions. From 1978 to 1983 I wrote to a million different players seeking their autographs on my baseball cards. A good many signed and popped them into the SASE's I enclosed. Back then, when I got an autograph through the mail, there was no doubt in my mind it was authentic. These days, though, from everything I've been gathering and all the greed that's so evident in baseball, there seems to be a different mindset. So, I'm going to post a bunch of scans of my HOFer autographs I got TTM and hope people will offer me their opinions on the authenticity of the signatures.

Some of the cards are in rough shape, because I'd send them some of the worse cards I had in case they didn't respond. That way it would have been less of a loss if I didn't hear back.

I welcome any and all input and, as a side note, most of these cards are available for trade if anyone is interested. You'll find my 1957-1971 need list over in the 50's-80's buy/sell/trade section.

No on the Mays (secreterial or wife), no on the Williams (not even close), no on the first Bench. I don't know about the others but I don't really like any of the Aarons.

Ditto. The wife of Willie Mays was very busy signing TTM autographs.

Chris - Thanks to you and a few others on this forum, my eyes are getting better at this!

Yea those Aarons' and Williams' are just terrible. Hank is way off, his auto is more like he "scratched" his signature. Mays hasn't signed like that for about 60 years.

Willie never signed like that. Those sigs were signed by Willie's wife.

Jarrod, that's the great thing about Net54 and the members. We are learn from each other.

I agree with what everyone has said so far.

I will get the ball rolling on Morgan and say they look good to me. The Seavers are a bit hard to see, but from what I can see they look good to me as well.
