Nolan Ryan--any concerns?

I'm concerned about the loops in his first name crossing. I don't see many examples of this. Thoughts?

I agree.

Odd to find a forged Nolan Ryan.

There is no shortage of Nolan Ryan autographs.

Sure got me on that one. I wouldn't want it, but I still don't like it.

He claims JSA certed it, but I still don't like it.

I don't care what JSA opined on this, I believe its a forgery. Look at the R. look at the relationship between the descender of the "y" and the large upper half of the "R". Then look at authentic versions. Huge difference and I cannot find another one that looks like this.

I agree.

Maybe the OP can post the JSA cert.

Did the OP delete his "JSA certed" comment?

Yes. Not sure why. I have a copy on my phone. They automatically get emailed but when I clicked on it, it said reply has been deleted.

Here is what the OP posted:

This ball is in my personal collection, authenticated by JSA. I'll assume it's real since Ryan is such a popular autograph. I would put him in the category that is JSA's "bread and butter" of authe...

Hey guys! I'm not sure why my comment was deleted. I'm new on here, and I think I accidentally deleted the comment while trying to edit it. Yes, the Ryan ball is certified. I too, have concerns with it. It doesn't look like most of the examples. I was able to find one example that was close on eBay, it too was certified by JSA. I'm torn. I know JSA makes mistakes, but I'd think they'd get a Ryan right. Maybe not!

Anyway, sorry for the confusion in my comments. Thanks for the input!
