This Maris doesn't look authentic at all to me but PSA thought it was fine.

I might go to the White Plains show early tomorrow to submit my Maris to PSA-DNA.

    Maybe he had an early signature and changed it after a year or 2? I never saw one like that but apparently somebody at PSA did.

    It's real hard for them to be perfect, overall they do a pretty good job I guess.

    The slabbed PSA/DNA rookie looks to be an early Maris autograph example. As with most players, Maris' sig changed as his career went on.

    How much would PSA charge for checking out the Maris?

    Yea, could be a very early Maris , that looks so unlike any Maris I have ever seen though .

    Similar situation happened with me and JSA and my 58 Mickey Mantle , everyone swore to God it was a clubhouse Mick , even this self proclaimed "expert" on Mickey Mantle's signature , when JSA came to his store to do some authenticating , he was like Wow , it's hard to find a Mick from his playing days , it most certainly is authentic , Most Mantle's you see are from after his playing days .

    Mickey Mantle's signature looked very sloppy, almost childlike .

    I wonder how these guys are able to change the way they write so drastically ?

    I don't know if baseball players would do something like this, but NASCAR legend Richard Petty went to a writing expert in the late 1960s-early 1970s that taught him how to make his signature more personal, and how to sign it so he would not suffer from fatigue after singing for several several hours. When the Petty family has their open houses at their shops in North Carolina, Richard has signed for 6 or more hours straight!

    That is an early Maris signature, I have seen many of those examples over the years - especially in old autograph albums. The Signature House catalog had a really cool dated book signed by him with the old signature that sold for a lot in early '08. Cool autograph, though I like his old "M" much better.

    Yea, I like his old M better too .

    I think his other , later M looks more like a U .

    To me it always looked like Ularis image

    Just like Ruth, to me, looks like Rutt.
