Are these autographs real?

I would say No . Here's what I have to compare.

I'm not trying to be mean, but those signatures are not good. They really aren't even close. Looks like someone was having fun trying to put auto's on those cards.

None of them are good. Sorry.

Even the Moreno is different than the duplicated auto on another card. Doesn't look too promising.

Stargell changed his signature to a tight one word scrawl later in his life, but that's not it. Sorry, none of these look good to me.

Back in 1980, there were ads in the backs of magazines. You could send baseball cards in to any team and have them signed.

As an 11year old kid, I sent these in to the Pirates. Got them back 1-2 months later. So, I've had them for 30 years. As a kid I thought I was the king because I had so many autographed cards from my favorite childhood Championship team.

But now....well....I wish I had never asked the question and just plodded along through life believing these were legit.
