My brother asked me to post these photos to get opinions on the autographs he collected through the mail in 1985-1986. Any opinions are welcome. Sorry for the shadows on some of the photos.

Koufax -
![]() Aaron - ![]() DiMaggio - ![]() Snider - ![]() Mays - ![]() Brooksie - ![]() Roberts - ![]() Palmer - ![]() Stargell - ![]() The Mays and Aaron look like ghost signers. Just not sure on Joe D - there are folks here with much more knowledge that I have on him. |

I think Dimaggio and Mays are bad. I have no opinion on the Koufax or Aaron as I can't see the full sigs due to the shadows. The rest look fine.

Aaron employed a ghost signer for many, many years TTM. The straight-legged "H" (lacking the typical loop leading into the crossbar) is a telltale sign.
I know DiMaggio's sister signed a ton of his mail at one point. Supposedly the story was Joe didn't understand the difference, and when he realized how it impacted collectors he started signing himself. At least I remember reading that somewhere many years ago. I believe that happened well before 1985 though. I think by the 80s Joe D. was commanding pretty high card show prices ($40 was a ton for a signature in the mid-80s ![]() |

Aaron, Willie and Joe D. appear to not be genuine.
Koufax and all others look fine IMHO. |

Mike, just curious, what set are those "1969 Topps-style" cards from?
Also, I like all of them except the Dimaggio (maybe), Aaron (bad), and Mays (maybe). |
