I never claimed to be an expert, but merely offering my opinion. Take it for what it is worth.

Hi James,

I appreciate you taking the time to give your thoughts. I just didn't appreciate some of the comments made at the beginning of the thread, but none of them were made by you.

Tim,

I apologize if anything I said offended you...I was simply stating my opinion.

For what its worth both appear to be EARLY Bench and EARLY Rose signatures , thats the GOOD news the Bad news is that neither command any kind of $$$

Kinda surprising there isn't a premium for vintage signatures. From my own experience, I seek earlier signatures of certain players I collect. I prefer them over the later mass-produced styles. It's likely Derek Jeter may sign a million more autographs in his lifetime, but he won't be signing one more rookie style signature.

Makes sense to me but would you pay more for a VINTAGE Bob Feller ? Bench and Rose are the same thing
