Kevin are you including the stuff in the black box also or just the red box? I don't know if the DiMaggio is real but it is ugly to me.

Ben- the whole autograph....What's your take? Also, I question the Gehrig as well...

To me the whole autograph looks like J. Dimaggio in the red box and no I would not buy it.

I agree, and still don't like the Gehrig auto either....

So there.

[CMIZ5290]

Two very ugly autographs in my opinion, and many other opinions
as well....So there...

What you think is the "J" in the red box is actually the "D." Take another look.

For Christ's sake... Have you ever even seen a vintage DiMaggio signature? The horizontal loop you think is the "D" is the loop on the "M." The red box is cutting the bottom of the "D" off. And that big bold dot is over the "i," just to the right of the "D." Sorry, man, but you don't know squat about DiMaggio's signature.
Mr. Zip... Chris... Would you explain to this guy which letter is which.

I feel your frustration.

I can see what you are saying. So the Dimaggio signature is the whole thing I have very roughly outlined in red?

Yes. That's it. For some reason DiMaggio was trying to avoid signing on the circular label.

Damn. Writing with a mouse looks like crap, but works.

This is what I`m seeing also, but it is confusing to say the least.
