Thoughts on Griffey, Jr.?
This looks pretty good to this untrained eye, but you guys know better. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have never seen a "Y" like that from him before. I could be 100% wrong though

Doesn't look right but I'm no authority.

I will say the same thing that I said about the Koufax ball recently shown. The pen pressure is terribly hard and even all through the signature and Griffey was always fast and smooth.

Here is what I typed: One important thing to note about Ken Griffey, Jr's signature is that he happens to sign without applying a lot of pressure to the pen. Eddie Murray and Rod Carew are others that have the same tendencies. FWIW, the person that penned the "Griffey" ball in question appears to have applied quite a bit of pressure when they signed this ball. Here is an example of an IP Ken Griffey Jr. ball that he signed for me in 1991. Note that his pen strokes are deliberate, but almost "wispy" at the same time.

Scanner is on the fritz so I can't post a shot.
My IP Griffey is from his rookie season and is very similar to Scott's except the "y" is a bit shorter. |

Don't think so
Not an expert but agree with what others have said, I have a UDA-certified ball with a Griffey signature that almost looks faded, however, I think it's just a lack of pressure from when he signed.
Have a Tony Gwynn ball that looks the same way (Tristar if I remember right). |
