Well, that's true, but he said typical, which means average, normal, usual.

That's why he put the word typical in there, to distinguish it from just any forged autograph, especially ones that aren't forged as often, like Mathews. I don't know if you have ever posted a Mathews single signed ball fake on your posts here or on your videos, you may have, but it would have maybe just been one or two, (not counting 500 homerun balls) when we know how many single signed Mantle, Williams, Dimaggios have been posted. Those are typical forger targets.


Just as Max Schmeling is not a typical forger target in boxing. Has anyone ever tried to forge Max Schmeling? yes, but not often.

Muhammad Ali is a typical forger target.

Typical forger targets in baseball, Dimaggio, Williams, Mantle, Maris, and Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig, etc. Not Eddie Mathews just as it is not Bob Feller or Al Kaline.

and speaking of Ali...did you or anyone catch him last night at the Opening Night of The Miami-Cards Baseball Game???

Wow, he is slipping fast. I haven't seen him in public in quite a while and now I know why. I almost started to cry.

The Matthews compares favorably to the 2 that I have that have been certed by PSA for what-ever that's worth.

The sig looks good to me. If it is a forgery, whoever spent the time learning how to forge his signature that well should have spent their time and effort into forging Mantle's instead.

True, that's why its not a typical forgers target. they try to work smarter, not harder.

Thanks again everyone. I was able to land the ball for a very good price. $41.00 I'm very happy with that. Thanks again for the input!

$41 for a legit deceased 500 homerun hitter is outstanding. Mathews is so underated by the collecting community.
