I need autograph opinions please!

Hi,
I picked these up from an estate today. There were a bunch of autographs that looked good, but I'm not an autograph guy. I was told most of the signatures were obtained in person. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help.
Matt

I want to post my opinion before the big guys weigh in, just to see how my knowledge compares.

The Maris is bad- what is that stain behind the sig? was it shellacked?

I believe the other two are bad also,but would want a closer view before saying for sure.

OK, Richard, Jodi, opinions?

The Maris is stained(browning) around the signature.

Thanks
Matt

None of those are any good.

My guess would be that all three are on Bobby Brown baseballs. That would leave about a one year perios for Maris to have signed the ball. Better photos would be helpful. The Maris might have a chance, though.

yeah, After looking at the larger pics, I believe all to be fake.

Looks like the Dickey and the Durocher may have even been done by the same forger(?) comments.

The 'M' in Maris is too wiggly, as if somebody was trying a bit too hard to replicate Roger's little M-flourish.

Dickey is probably the worst-looking of the lot for me, it does look like same handwriting and same pen (and probably signed at the same time) as Leo D, as mentioned above.
