<p>Ron has a brain worth picking. He's got a book on Baseball Hall of Fame autographs scheduled for late next summer that will be a must-have for every vintage baseball autograph collector. </p>
<p>Ron and I have different politics autograph-wise--he hates JSA and PSA/DNA and I think they're very important to the hobby--but I always respect what he has to say, even if I disagree.</p>

<p>Steve,</p>
<p>Glad to see my post is still being viewed. Of course that wasn't the answer I was hoping for but just wanted to find out either way. I had sent Ron an email a while back inquiring about it but he never replied. The funny thing is I think we live about a 1/2 hour apart and was hoping to catch up with him and pick his brain for a few, oh well. </p>

<p>Casey,</p>
<p>I was talking to Ron Keurajian today and he thinks your Ty Cobb isn't real. Ron follows rare baseball autographs closely and he's seen a number of pieces recently that he feels are by the same forger.</p>
<p>Wish I had better news.</p>

<p>Is Rich a member on this site? What's driving me nuts is how the double "o" seems to match several that passed PSA & JSA. On the other hand there are several other variations that do not have the double "o". At least getting my Hank Greenberg and Chas Gehringer autos haven't been this stressful! =)</p>

<p>I did check out Ron's article. Actually came across that a while ago before I got the autograph. I am just a novice so it's been extremely difficult in sorting the fakes from the real ones due to Cobb's dramatic signature changes over the years. </p>

<p>Did you check out Ron Keurajian's Cobb piece on Autograph-Club.org like Fudd suggested? There's one good piece with a slow paraph somewhat similar to this one's but I'm not convinced this one's good. John's right--it would be great if Richard Simon would chime in. Here's the article link:</p>

<p>I noted some "slowness" in the formation of the "obb", but that is the only perceived negative I can find. the letter formation, slant, height etc. seems consistent with the examples available.</p>

Of concern in my opinion is the slowness of the paraph ( the line underneath the signature), the puddling of ink especially on the "T", the way the two loops in the "o" are formed. These amongst other things. just my opinion. Perhaps ask Rich Simon or submit it for authentication. Unquestionable examples are posted above.
