Opinions on my brother's 1980s era TTM autograph collection (DiMaggio, Mays, Koufax)

[Lordstan]

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.

Thanks, Mark!

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 ) so I'd doubt anything obtained TTM for free would be legit. That said, if this one isn't real, it's close, but I don't love the "J" or the "M."

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

Agree 100%

If offered to me, I would decline purchase of the Joe D, The Aaron and Mays

I like the rest of them.

I believe the DiMaggio is good, although a little different. The Aaron and Mays are no good. The rest are fine.

I agree with this 100%. That was my same opinion. Dimaggio is the sister's sig, Mays looks like his wife's and Aaron the ghost signer. Everything else is good.
