To me, it appears slowly rendered, unsure, especially the "D", as many forgeries of anybody do. I'm not familiar with the last year or so of Joe's signatures, if his hand became unsteady, which might account for that hesitant "D" and its shakiness here. Joe's "D"s always struck me as artwork. A thing of beauty. Classical lettering. Almost Heraldic. The architecture of this "D" looks to me like it's either the first time he's building a "D" like that, or one of the very few times. Not a "D" that the author has been constructing subliminally for decades.

That is what I was thinking. Looks like a couple of hesitations especially the "D" not flowing. Thanks.

its a common forgery

Nice to be learning and get the right answer lol. It is on eBay right now with a $300 bid and a scoreboard cert. thanks for your help.

Yep.  Common forgery.

Scammers and unknowing sellers have been using the old Scoreboard COA to list and sell their forgeries for the last 5-10 years.

That Joe DiMaggio forgery is listed by Ebay seller Memorylen.

Yes sir that is the one! Crazy how people can sleep at night doing this!

People are bidding on that crap because they're buying the cert, not the autograph.

That's why forgeries are an easy sell on Ebay.  Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors.

and crooks ready, willing and able to take advantage of them

Absolutely, Terrier.

The scammers are well aware that Ebay is heavily-populated with wannabe and delusional autograph collectors.

Ebay has the ability and power to fix that, but there is too much money involved when it comes to the sales of forgeries.

I though Ebay had changed their autograph policy sometime some major autograph bust fiasco? Only allowing certain authentication company's COAs that their experts approved of? What happened on Ebay to change that back again, if I'm right about that COA policy ever being in effect at all? I know there's certain card and coin grading services they won't allow official grading service status to.

That stopped a long time ago.

That's why thousands of GFA-certed (and others, of course) forgeries have sold on Ebay during the last 5-6 years.

And I thought they had review personnel, for looking at material certified by other than the approved authenticating services, that steps in and shuts down what they feel is highly suspect among those.
