lol - so those sigs look good to all the Yankee autograph experts on this forum?

I'm seeing a trend here: if you know the guy and like him, the signature is good. If you don't know him, or the LOA/COA was created by someone you don't like (or have a fight going with in this forum), then the signature is bad. If you know the guy and like him, and the signature doesn't look so kosher....dead silence.

Carry on, my faux pas. (is it a faux pas if you did it on purpose? )

Scott,
No comment from me because I don't feel qualified to respond.
Sorry! I'm hoping that others that are more familiar with the intricacies of these sigs check in with their opinions....
I hope you get your responses soon.

Thanks Scott. No response necessary - I can tell from looking at that ball that no one here could tell you one way or the other if the signatures are authentic.
I just thought I'd see if anyone would bite.

Scott,

I know nothing about autos really but to me the Ruth looks clubhouse. Not sure about Gehrig, but looks like his early Verison.

Don't care. Yankees suck.

To be honest (though I was honest about the Yankees sucking), is the Ruth looks a bit funny to me. But I'm no expert so even I don't take seriously my opinion on the matter.

I recently met a lovely, nice woman from NYC. I was relieved to learn she was a Mets fan. "Okay," I thought. "Mets I can handle."

If it's any consolation, I don't like the Red Sox either.

David, I never liked the Mets either, but only because I grew up an Astros fan, and they crawled out of the cellar quicker than we did (yes, it was jealousy).

But, back to the topic. This collection of balls is amazing - I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories on his website. But that Yankme's ball does illustrate that there's a problem that no one really wants to talk about unless it involves one of their enemies - the 'good guys' are off-limits, and that's what fostered this situation to begin with.

In most cases (note the qualifier), the only person who is sure his Ruth ball is authentic, is the guy who has it sitting in his trophy case - for him, that signature HAS to be real every time he brings over one of his buddies for a cigar and single malt.

I say, toss this one to Pickles.

The Mets aren't good enough to hate. I also grew up following the American League, so they were like playing in the Land of Oz. The Mets never played my team when I was young, and the prospects that they would would vague at clearest. The Yankees were in my division.

For me at least, the teams I hate happen to win a lot. So it's a bit of a compliment. I disliked your Cowboys in part because they kept beating my Packers in the playoffs.
