DiMaggio Help Needed

I think I am going to purchase this DiMaggio but just want to make sure that it is authentic. Any help?

I am not an expert on Dimaggio's signature but I do have several PSA/DNA certified photos and balls. With that said from my knowledge it looks okay minus the open O in his first name. For the majority he always closes it and anything I have that is PSA or JSA authenticated shows the O being closed. I have seen on rare instances them passing the open O but not often. Again I could be wrong but I do have several Dimaggio autos and the O is closed. I would take a look closely to pen pressure and indications of the ink stopping midway through the signature. That's a dead giveaway of a fake. If this photo hasn't been authenticated by PSA or JSA I wouldn't risk it.. Just my thoughts but its to risky these days to waste money. Good Luck!

Papers do not equate to authenticity.

In my short time here, one of the most important lessons I've learned is exactly what you just stated Eric. Papers alone definitely does NOT make them Legit !!!

The O in Joe looks off to me along with the upstroke of the line above the top of the D.  I also have issues with the a in DiMaggio.  Just my thoughts.

not the best example but likely authentic.  Here is another one, rushed example showing the open "o" and a similar "a".

As long as it isn't a reprint, that DiMaggio is authentic.

good point Christopher, it could be a reprint.  but if it is, they picked a crappy example to reprint!
