These three cards I purchased for a very reasonable price. If you are an expert in any of these autos,
I would appreciate your opinion as to authenticity. Thank You.

    Ditto

    Bradshaw is a huge ghost signer.

    I agree on the Bradshaw. I posted a comment on Startiger about Bradshaw's cousin signing everything that was sent to Terry. I used to own a house (Shady Lane address on ST) next door to his cousin and he told me he signed a lot of stuff for Terry.

    Not saying that means this one is a fake, but I'm just skeptical of any Bradshaw auto now.

    What's great is that Bradshaw charges to sign TTM yet employs a ghost signer? If that's true, then it's tantamount to fraud.

    Hey guys ... not saying PSA is correct on this one ... but doesn't it look the same as the one I received?

    Thanks for your opinions. I have learned a lot from you guys on this forum!

    And PSA also authenticates and slabs the bogus Joe Montana's. When a player's ghost signature becomes the hobby norm, there's a problem. I will assure you that the Bradshaw is not authentic.

    If PSA/DNA certified it then it must be right. (rolls eyes)

    Doug,

    Scott hit the nail on the head. PSA/DNA is good for the most part, and there is no question that they add market value and acceptance, but they've slabbed a lot of bad Bradshaw's and Montana's.

    Thanks for your opinions guys. Scott and Mike ... I am sure you guys are correct ... and I am sure there are a lot of other autos sitting in slabs that should not be there, but PSA/DNA, as Mike said, does add value to that part of the hobby.

    Here is a Bradshaw I got signed in person at the National (2 years ago?) in Chicago... not the best scan

    The "T" and the "y" in Terry are slightly off from your example... and the PSA/DNA slabbed example... as there are also some inconsistencies in Bradshaw.
