AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.

Ted Williams Green Diamond COA

Steiner sold a pile of Williams autographs over the weekend for $99. All have Green Diamond COAs. I'm seeing them all over social media with some debate about the reliability of the COA (which apparently originated from William's son). The autographs are sloppy, but if they were signed in the years/months before he passed that wouldn't be surprising. But they don't look right to me. Here is an example.

Any opinion about authenticity?

I saw them and I cringed also,though I'm not that familiar with the way he signed in his waning years. They don't look right to me either.

I think it's good could just be an iffy signature of his. Id buy a better one for sure. Looks similar to this...but I'm just going by what I studied in last 5 mins....Never studdied his Sig before.
