All were purchased by me in the mid-late 1980's through dealers in Sports Collectors Digest. I'm thinking of selling them on eBay but don't want to put any bad autographs out there (we all know eBay has enough of those!!).

    The "R" and the first "g" appear to be atypical to me in the Reggie Jackson autograph.

    Hi Daniel

    I'm the last one to authenticate anything - I stink at it.

    But, I've got most of those sigs and they compare. The ones I don't have - I checked the PSA/DNA exemplars and they compare.

    Good luck on the sale.

    the only one I don't have an opinion on is the Gooden; all the others look good to me!

    They all look good to me. Doc might have just been rushed a bit...

    The Dwight Gooden autograph is atypical. It is also unusual for him to sign "Dwight" instead of "Doc". The only explanation that I can think of is that it was signed in person many years ago.

    The Gooden is an old sig. I have a couple signed Dwight from this era, too.

    If anyone has any old hobby catalogs or magazines from the late 70s/early 80s, check out the prices for autographed 8x10s and you'll figure counterfeiting was probably not on anyone's mind, given the prices for even the best of the current players. That is not to say that people may not have faked signatures at all then, but $20-30 for a Mantle or DiMaggio and it makes you think why bother when there were probably better ways to make a quick buck.

    They all look fine to me.
    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    That makes sense. Thanks Grote.

    not to mention that the picture was taken in Shea Stadium (where the Yankees played for a couple years in the mid 1970's)?

    Did anyone also notice that Rice sat on his cap before he put it on that morning?

    I always notice stuff like this and thought I was the only one. I do know that when traveling, players have a soft sided equipment bag that all of their playing gear, including their hats get tossed into and loaded up on the truck. I am sure that when all of these bags are piled up someone's hat gets crushed along the way in their bag and I am sure this is what happened to Mr. Rice.
    I am on a budget and I am not afraid to use it!!
