Autograph Authentication

[David Atkatz]

I only mentioned value as it is a motive for forgery. I, too, collect Highlander autographs and artifacts, with a particular emphasis on the 1903 team.
With the exception of Griffith, I don't think I've seen a forgery of any of those signatures.

Wow, David, your 1903 New York Highlander autograph emphasis is truly ambitious.

Just curious; how complete is your collection of autographs from that team?

Do you include the team owner and other team officials among that emphasis too ?

Could not help but notice several infrequent/rarely encountered autograph names of former Detroit Tigers among the 1903 Highlander roster (Deering, Beville, Courtney, Elberfeld, Greene, Long).

My thanks for sharing your insight.

Not all that complete, of course. I've got the starting infield: Jack O'Connor C, John Ganzel 1B, Jimmy Williams 2B, Kid Elberfeld SS, Wid Conroy 3B. One outfielder, Dave Fultz, and pitchers, Jack Chesbro, Clarke Griffith, Jess Tannahill, Harry Howell, and Ambrose Puttmann. I've also got owner Frank Farrell.

I definitely agree with your taking the autographs directly to the PSA office here in NJ ( I live about a mile away) Make sure you tell them you will pick the order up when it is complete. Saves a TON in shipping charges. Good luck.

They're all authentic. Now, are you really gonna piss your money away?
