I basically told him I thought there was a strong possibility they were all bad. My gut feeling and comparing to a few known good ones I have on file was thus:

Maris, Schmidt - don't like at all and don't/didn't think they would pass

Mantle, Williams - I was leaning towards no good but thought they could pass

Jackson - my only experience with RJ is in person, and usually rushed signatures. Most of the card show sigs I've seen have "44" below or an added inscription - and I was told these were obtained at card shows.

Aaron - he's always been tough for me in general.

I will send the link to my friend so he can read the responses himself. I keep telling him to join, he can learn a lot here, that were (mostly) harmless but I think he's a little intimidated.

MooseDog, I have about 10 Reggies...some have been from mail in private signings but most from in person and of those 10, 3 do not have a number (either 44 or 9) and I'm possitive I got those 3 in person. One thing about Reggie, his adding of the number and His J's and his ending of his name are a bit inconsistent (but in a consistent variation way).
