So the Mantle and Williams look good to you guys? That would be really odd if someone chose to forge a Schmidt/Aaron if the other signatures are authentic. Could anyone specifically point out what is wrong with these signatures?

That's the quality that made me say no good originally.  It looks like the pointed "M" of those common Florida forgeries.  That plus the Hank Aaron, I'd just stay away from this piece.

This sure is a strange example. Some look borderline okay... some look decidedly off.

The Aaron struck me immediately as very odd. The Williams looked good, but the Mantle looks unusual as well. The first M is balloonish and the second M is miniature. The Killebrew, Banks and McCovey look very weak at best.

IMO, it has some halfway decent fakes on it, or some of the signatures were gathered haphazardly in rushed settings. My advice would be to pass. Even if these were all good, they are sub-prime examples at best.

the McCovey does have one aspect that virtually none of the forgeries have, I think its ok. I would pass on it too. the other thing that bothers me is the relative size of the signatures. it all seems too neat, except of course, the reggie jerkson.
