That's a very high number.

I have heard DiMaggio didn't really care for signing autographs but did Ted and Mickey not care for them either?

In the blurb, it reads this is going to be a feature film.
https://www.amazon.ca/Operation-Bull.../dp/B00C0HODPY

The amazing true story of the high-flying national forgery ring that forged the autographs of sports stars and celebrities and ripped off the American public for more than $100 million, before being busted by a dramatic three-year FBI undercover investigation. As seen on ESPN, Tru-TV, and now being developed into a feature film.

There are plenty of genuine examples of all three in great numbers.

John Henry Williams made his father sign at every waking moment towards the end. Mickey Mantle signed in insane numbers as well. Even DiMaggio was a volume signer.

One of the reason sticking to early examples (outside of the autograph circuit) & unique items is probably a safer choice.

Hi Irv, I admit I got a little overzealous with the 99% statement, no doubt there are a lot.

What’s amazing to me is I can’t even get my own signature to look the same every time.

If I was famous, I'd sign my name completely differently at times, including printed out (non-cursive) and in all-caps, just to mess with authenticators.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

It worked with Chief Myers until they figured out it was him.

Never underestimate the power of ego, money, and a degree of sociopathic behavior.
