1930s/40s Baseball Autographs

I found this baseball cleaning out a relatives house the other day. The only signatures I can make out are Joe DiMaggio and Bob Feller. Can anyone figure out the other signatures?

    The DiMaggio & Feller signatures don't appear to be authentic unfortunately (not to mention a Jimmie Foxx that is suspect as well). Other names I see are Duke Maas, Joe Medwick and Bob Turley..,.I'm sure others will contribute their thoughts.

    I agree with IMF - the ones I spotted (DiMaggio, Foxx) don't look good. Looks like a Joe Judge on there too, but not sure you can count on any of them being good if the big names aren't. Just one guy's opinion, of course.

    The ones I recognize look bad.

  • Thanks. I really appreciate the input. I’m not sure if it’s worth paying to have it authenticated on the slim chance that it is real.

    I can imagine a 14 year old, ages ago, playing a joke on his friends by creating an “autographed” baseball. 😉None of the signatures appear authentic.

    Agreed.

    Now that I look at it again the placement of the signatures does not even look correct. Not signed the way a team or players would sign.

    Late to the thread on this one, just saw it, but not only as everyone has pointed out, the signatures being atypical and definite forgeries, but all of them share one trait in common. They're all signed by the same hand.

    The Turley looks right to me. It might be the only one.

    I'm not familiar with Judge by memory, but that could be good too, if it looks close. Same goes for Maas, would have to look him up and compare to have a feel.

    The rest look way off.
