Casey Stengel good - Try another one from Stinson.

Upside down on the page of a book!?! Every in person autograph collector I know buys old books and used the margins of random pages to collect their autographs. I personally lean towards using the classics like 'Don Quixote' - tipping at windmills. The signature looks like a Roaches Corner practice forgery before they tried it on a baseball. It was probably in a lot of random HOF fakes on slips of paper.

I don't even understand why someone would forge Stengels autograph anyway....he signed almost everything his whole long life. 20 years ago I would easily flip through his signed cards at shows and find them everywhere. I don't understand what people are thinking when they do this? Btw, this was on eBay. I chose not to buy it :-)

$ is always the answer. Those that think people only alter/counterfeit/forge autographs of expensive items are only fooling themselves. There is little to no risk with lower price items for the scammers.

Seriously?

There are hundreds of ebay forgers who make many thousands of dollars a year, $8 at a time by forging "low value" autographs on index cards.

They succeed because some people think, "who would forge this autograph?"

Yep.

I call them "kitchen table forgers."

They are all over Ebay.

So, this time I am willing to pay more to get it right 😀. This one comes with a receipt from Stinson. That should help, and it looks good to me. Does this Stengel look authentic before I pull the trigger? You all are the best and I hope to get it right this time. Thanks much, Casey
