I would think if they are all Legite then the value of the collection should be higher.
I would love to see the autographs of Jackson and Gibson be authenticated

But great video and thanks for sharing

Coaches corner likely already had authenticated them!

I hope I'm wrong, but the fact that the Mathewson looks to be signed last Tuesday doesn't bode well. Also: What are the odds that every autograph on the '27 Yankees ball doesn't show any sign of fading over 95 years?

Also, Wajo died in '46 and that auto is clearly ballpoint pen which didn't become prevalent until around that time if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure Hank (Hi Hank!) would know if he sees it.

'Zactly. Looks like some CC originals.

As others have said alot of those look questionable. But what's interesting is the guy is holding a book with Heritage Auction Appraisal of the items. I know it's only appraisals but do they not make sure the stuff at least has a chance of being legit.

I’m no autograph expert but I wonder about some of those 19th century pitcher autographs on the sweet spots of new appearing baseballs.

Joe Jackson was/is a pretty amazing person. Since his death it appears that his handwriting has improved.

Great Jay !!! Looks like a lot of Coach's Corner or similiar. I got burned by them years ago before I knew better. Wonder how many would be graded authentic ?

And here I thought that the card world was full of pitfalls. I can hardly id my own signature on a Wed that I did 2 days earlier but lots of things that appear to be hugely problematic in that collection.
