Reggie looks OK. Munson is horrible

I agree Terrier. The Reggie Jackson autograph looks pretty typical to me, but the Thurman Munson autograph concerns me.

I agree that the Munson autograph does not look typical of his 1979 autograph and I have never seen this version authenticated but I do know at some point in time probably earlier in his career he must have signed at least one autograph like this because on his Louisville Slugger autograph model bats you will find this version imprinted on the bat.

Just do an Ebay search for Thurmun Munson bat and you will find examples. It could be authentic IMO based on this information but I have only seen this version imprinted on bats, not on any actual autographed items.

Typically, Louisville Slugger obained an authentic example of the player's autograph to imprint on the bats. It is possible however that his example was submitted as a secretarial version.

I would do some further investigation before dismissing this as authentic.

For one thing, the "M" in "Munson" looks more like it was autographed by Billy Martin than Thurman Munson. Here is a link that you can use to decide for yourself. Sorry Jordan.
