Also, is there any chance the inscription is made by a different person?

rough photo but looks ok

Thanks Tony

It is more likely that the inscription and the autograph were both signed by the same person.  I am just not convinced that Billy Martin signed them.

There are a couple of things that concern me about this particular Billy Martin autograph.  I would not want it in my collection.

What don't you like about it Mike?

The "B" concerns me.  I do not like the appearance of it, nor do I like the way that it compares to the size of the "M".  I am concerned about the inscription as well.

What throws me off is how the B in Billy and B in Best aren't the same. 

I agree.  The slant of the inscription appears to be off as well.  I also believe that the "W" is too angular.  I would expect it to be more curved.

yeah the 2 B's are quite bothersome as they don't look at all alike. 

I'm still thinking that the inscription was likely done separately.

Billy did sign with 2 different style B's though...One has some Style and one has a closed off 3 almost....Look at the photo i have in my album...which is more of the closed off 3 variety
