A few items I'd love your opinion on

Hey guys! New to the forum and fairly new to the hobby. Started with mainly wrestling but have since expanded my collection to other sports I follow.

I would love to get your opinion on these three items I recently purchased. I've contemplated going to JSA at an upcoming show, but really feel uneasy about it because it's usually a coin flip, and if I go in with multiple items, one may fail only because they have to fail something.

Bat signed by John Olerud, Paul Molitor and Roberto Alomar. IMO they all look authentic. They match pretty well with other signed bats by the 3, especially the way John makes is J and O, Paul curves his P and M and Roberto does is O and A.

Beckett Magazine signed by Olerud, Alomar and Joe Carter. Again, seems very consistent with what I've seen before.

Tony Romo and Jason Witten signed football. This just arrived today. They both look legit, especially in the style of writing for both and the consistency of the Romo T's and R's and 9. Also with Witten's J, Witten and #82.

Would love to get your feeback buys. Happy to be on the board and hope to be able to contribute more!

I would not take the bat to JSA. It will fail, I am sorry to say. The Molitor is not authentic I am certain of that. I am not familiar with Olerud's signature, but I am somewhat with Alomar and that also looks off. But the Molitor is definitely not authentic. Sorry.

take a look on ebay for Paul Molitor signed items, and compare.

Thanks Terrier. I appreciate the feedback. I found these examples that closely resembled the ones on the bat from PSA: http://www.psaautographfacts.com/AutographDetail/389/paul-molitor certainly wasn't the circular P I'm used to seeing.

I would not consider that link to PSA one of Molitor's classic signatures. and I would not be surprised if the forgers used on line guides like that to form their signatures. this is the style I am more familiar with, and the one that is more typical:

That's the signature I'm used to seeing and I have on some cards. I'll remain optimistic that its legit, if for nothing else to help me sleep at night if I had a bad buy haha. Thanks for your input terrier. You may be right

I think all the Jays autographs are bad. Look no where close to mine and I see them a lot being in Toronto.

I'm born and raised in Toronto, which is why I picked some of these up. Staples of my growing up and would like to one day pass them along to my next generation with tales of "touch 'em all Joe's" home run. His signature has varied a lot over the years. Even at his golf tournament
