A light signature and a bad digital photo make it very difficult to render any meaningful assessment. |

If he can operate a digital camera, he can do better than this. Also, the alarms go off when I see a long-winded explanation of the player's feats, prior to a description of the product. |

I never understand (rather, I do understand) why people selling a Ruth, Matty, Cobb or similar autograph on eBay say "LOA from forensics expert included, with matching holograpms" and never mention who is the expert. |

Don Frangipani (sp?) FORGET it......he's a central character in the Operation Bullpen thing. He was issuing all those FORENSIC examination certificates on balls. I'd agree with earlier poster on getting escrow or something confirmed prior to completing the deal and getting some 3rd party authentication on the ball--either PSA/DNA or Mastronet or someone. NONE of those are ENTIRELY failsafe, however, just what you feel 'comfortable' with. A REAL Mathewson ball should be into the tens of thousands if it was clean, so that's a big chunk of change to plunk down on something you're just not sure of or that the seller won't authenticate. |

If I were to buy a Mathewson autograph (which I won't unless I find a richer wife or Henry takes a second job before the next Mastro auction), I would feel safest and most confident if it was a check, contract or similar official, preferably holographic document. |

Call up Jim Stinson at (941) 697-4829. He is a noted collector/dealer that could probably help you out. |

If he'll take a Dan Mathewson check for a Christy Mathewson check, I'll do it...as long as he frames the Dan Mathewson check and puts it up on the wall, too, in a frame, and doesn't cash it... |

...NG! The signature copied onto the ball in slow motion, from an incorrect example (a forgery copied from a forgery unless the forger's eye/hand coordination is ZERO). Anyway, before even going into the multitude of problems with character formation of the signature itself, the look, vibes of the ball and ink is SO bad to begin with, it's not even worth going into. Maybe it's the Mathewson of Earth 3. He's the only Matty that spells his first name "Christe"! |

A good rule of thumb is if you did not see the person autograph the object it is probably fake. |
