Hi all,

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this one? Thanks!

I'm not a huge fan of third party authentication, nor am I an expert on DiMaggio. But I'd trust PSA's opinion having examined the autograph in person over any quick opinion from Beckett. (A type of service that I have very little faith in). I'd trust the opinions of some of the collectors here more than any third party. 

I'd take some higher resolution pictures with better lighting and see what they say.

i believe PSA got this one right. I see nothing wrong with this signature.

Thanks Tradegeek and terrier! That is reassuring to hear. See some photos below, which should have much better lighting. Hope the photos below help, please continue to let me know your thoughts on the Joe D auto. Thanks!

Beckett quick opinion I’ve lost all faith in.

they gave me three different opinions on one signature. It would of been more forthcoming to say, we don’t know

Could be three different people with three different rationals for their determination. I would not grade coins right after lunch. Or in a bad mood - or very happy. YMMV.

Yeah, I was curious if the beckett quick opinion would change if I sent in photos with better lighting. Sure enough it came back likely to be authentic the 2nd time around.
