Roger Maris Autographs: Real vs. Fake

There is a lot of discussion on Mantle, Williams and DiMaggio, but I think Roger Maris deserves a discussion as well. Maris is actually much less common than the three aforementioned signatures, much pricier and just as forged.

Let's see some real and fakes to help train the eye!

I'll kick it off with a slowly drawn, common fake style. Note the slow "chugging" effect in the R and M.

this is really an amazing forgery. the only real giveaway is the shakiness. the forger got one thing correct that most forgers miss.

The slant is way off too.

he was not consistent with slant.  sometimes it was almost straight vertical and other times, like CEE GEE's index card, it slanted right.
