pretty cool dude a Honus Wagner Honus
Wagner that's really really cool
code winked when you got here
got a bo Jackson game ish you signed
baseball bat any idea what you want to
get out of it 250 but I really don't
know let me call a friend of mine down
haven't come check it out Oh Jackson is
a very distinct B where he has two loops
in his signature he does a small loop on
top and a larger one on bottom he always
brings it back and it's usually either
closed or barely open you can see on
this one right here it just kind of
stops right there that's something you
typically don't see going over to the J
and Jackson you usually like to see one
round fluid motion here we have a couple
of sharp turns which is again a typical
of what I see in bo Jackson signatures
and then right here at the end the
letter n is brought up at the tail
usually on a bow Jack's signature is
gonna come straight down and end right
there based on what I see here I
wouldn't make an offer on it if I had
the opportunity since we weren't able to
make a deal I'm gonna take it home put
on my wall and just enjoy it like I have
and at the end of the day what was tied
to Bo Jackson so it's kind of definitely
memento for me I have this J Honus
Wagner autograph nice a Honus Wagner
Honus Wagner I didn't even know who he
was Honus Wagner was one of the greatest
shortstops of all time but most people
today know him because of his rare
baseball garden back in 1909 the
American tobacco company put baseball
cards inside his cigarette packs and
Wagner didn't approve so he threatened
to sue and they stopped making him only
fifty seven are known to exist today so
it's kind of like the holy grail of
baseball cards any idea of what you're
looking to get out of it well I'm
thinking close to 2,000 did you mind if
I bring somebody down to check out the
signatures see if it's real and let me
know what it's worth I'd be great I mean
you know I do see the Jay she's a good
thing she's signed like that you know
really predominantly so we do have Jay
Honus Wagner on here first thing I want
to look at just check the whole surface
for the ink here that's pretty
interesting what is that the pink is an
age well enough and that's kind of a big
thing okay okay
next thing I want to do what I assembled
here today are basically his autograph
authentic examples um there's no
question it's not the real deal
you don't know Swagger's autograph
really sad but then again I'm pretty
happy that I didn't put any money out
for it
I'll just take it home and it'll be a
reminder to be careful about all these
fake autographs out there I have an old
outfielders glove signed by Babe Ruth
and I have a bat signed by Babe Ruth and
Christy Mathewson I think this bat
should be worth somewhere between fifty
and a hundred grand the glove should be
worth ten twenty thousand dollars I just
want someone who's in this business to
look at this paperwork to see what they
think
who is your guy and what makes him
special because I trust him and I know
him but I don't know you sign gloves are
extremely rare because the oils in the
glove can over time kill the signature
now as far as the authentication for the
bat here I got to tell you this one
makes me very nervous
the gentleman listed on this
authentication was implicated in this
enormous FBI sting operation in the late
1990s it was called Operation bullpen
and it was all around getting fraudulent
signatures on memorabilia absolutely and
therefore auction houses won't recognize
his authentication as legitimate I have
serious doubts about its validity I
think they're missing the boat on these
items this young guy not even sure he
heard of Babe Ruth I've got a movie
poster signed by this cat here Steve
McQueen that's really really cool how
much you looking to get out of it I've
heard numbers that range from four grand
thirty-five grand so okay do you mind if
I have someone come in and take a look
at this signatures he does write an S
it's almost like a figure eight the
shape that capital T is huge and that's
the way you normally writes it but I see
that the t-bar is missing most ones I've
seen before finish up with the T but he
doesn't do it that way every time the
shape the ends off I would say this
poster is worth probably thousand
dollars without the signatures but with
the signatures is worth zero oh my god
that's such a drag I always thought it
was a good signature so it's a
disappointed I've got a Marilyn Monroe
signed picture and a handwritten poem
Wow so have you ever had this checked
out I have for experts looked at it and
about 10 years ago
so what was it appraised at it was
appraised at $48,000 all right well
that's good to know tell you what mind
if I have a buddy of mine come take a
look at it not something that's striking
about this photo the secretary used to
sign a lot of her correspondence used to
like to use a red pen and I'm gonna pull
something up here to show you this is a
signature it's pretty widely known
throughout the industry when we see
these photos we instantly know they're
secretarial and that's what we're
looking at here that's disappointing
yeah next I'd like to analyze the poem
and I brought a sample of her
handwriting here today when I start to
compare both of these together you go
over here to the poem it's two different
worlds yeah they looked absolutely
nothing alike yeah this was
unfortunately penned in someone else's
hand and not Marilyn Monroe so well I
wish you were real man I mean we both
make a lot of money but absolutely as it
sits there's really nothing I can do
with it what are these these are a pair
of gloves that my great aunt left me we
have a bunch of old movie star
signatures on them we have Clark Gable
right here who's probably the most
notable of the bunch any idea what you
might be looking to get out of him
I was thinking roughly $1,000 let me
have a buddy of mine come down and take
a look at it what I can't get beyond is
when I see the G on here
and I see this G I see a whole different
signature I'm looking at a G that's
connected to the a goes to the ble pod
winked yeah possibly one day I'll do
something cool and frame them and put
them up and of course when I do that I'm
gonna tell everybody that the Clark
Gable signature is authentic
you
