Roger Maris signed card opinion

[D. Bergin]

An Old-time collector friend of mine sent me a picture of this card he dug out of his collection, wondering if he should spring for authentication. He says he's had it in his collection since the 1980's, but I was setting up at shows in the late 80's, and there were plenty of fakes floating around then to.

I told him I didn't like it and probably shouldn't waste his money...but not being an expert in baseball auto's, I'd pass it by some others.

Sigs I've seen, Roger had a much cleaner autograph. It's possible he had a problem with the pen, and that's why the "R", is so sloppy, but even if it's good, I'd have a hard time thinking an authenticator would like it.

Thanks in advance for any opinions. Sorry, the cell phone picture he sent me isn't great.

Not so sure it is bad. Try to get him to send a clearer pic and post it here.

It’s good

I agree. Only the "R" looks funky but the rest looks spot on to me.

Did Roger sign right handed or left handed? That certainly looks like it was signed by a right handed person.
