Same here, already had Combs so wasn't too keen on paying to add another to my collection. The first is on a Check, which I prefer. All is fair in Love and HOF autograph buying.

TazDMB,

Do you have a website?

[tazdmb]

No, I really need to set one up just don't know how. By the way, thank you for not overbidding me on Bill McKechnie last night.

[jgmp123]

Ha! No problem.

David, I was just responding to a statement you made, not saying that the autographs are fake.

On the other hand, I wouldn't touch a penciled autograph, regardless of how legit it looked.

I agree one must be careful with team sheets, Scott.

What's wrong with pencil autographs? (It was the writing instrument of choice for kids gathering signatures.)

As you know, one must be careful with ANY team items, not just sheets.

Regarding pencil autographs, it doesn't matter to me whether or not children prefer pencils - I want my autographs to be in ink. Again, the disclaimer that I don't disagree that this sheet is legit; however, IF you were going to forge a sheet like this, it would be easier to create a legit-looking forgery using a pencil, as opposed to a fountain pen (assuming we are in pre ballpoint pen era). I would be amazed if anyone disputed this.

Here's is a great thread where many (including yourself) discuss the wonders of lead: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=124499&page=4
