Have some running around to do so I'll catch up on the thread in a bit. Mail

Nice. What did Buhner sign?

SO, I bought that Dizzy Dean signed 1914 $5 bill. $90.

$30 eBay bucks. Did $75 in side cash work today so it was covered. When it comes in, I'll evaluate it before sending it for slabbing. I guess I'll start shopping my current Dean slabbed auto.

What's your slab look like? I'm curious. Dean on the bill looks good to me. The bill alone has to be worth some money

It looks to me like a textured black construction paper. The gold ink looks amazing on it

Little bit of the D from "Dean" cut off. Very solid sig, though.

"...and an authentication fee of $49 and under... "

Dizzy Dean is a $75 fee.

The Reese will be a $12 discount, though.

 

[michaelstepper]

You'd take the dollar sig over that? Very solid auto. The dollar is a cool piece though

Unless you are in a rush to get it slabbed for return purposes I'd hold off subbing both and wait for a group sub that one of the members on the psa boards runs about every 4-6 months. He usually gets a deal where each item is $12 and you'd probably get the Dean in for that same $12 price.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the other 5,000 Lakes........

Adam, thoughts on this piece.

"Mel" is perfect. I don't like the "O" - at all - just because I've never seen one THAT jacked up. Thing is, though, is if someone were faking an Ott, his last name is much easier since it's just a series of loops with a kick up to cross the T's.

The Mel would be much more difficult with the flourish on the "M" while remaining fluid on the curved first arch and sharp second arch.

That said - I like it. The type of pen looks period, too.

 

[A_Pharis]

[MENTION=4030]michaelstepper[/MENTION] - couldn't help but look up the seller. He's sold a slabbed Ott recently. That said, the slabbed Ott has the different style crossing of the T's. Ott did them both ways. If he were the one trying to fake the unslabbed Ott, you'd think he'd try to stick to the easier style of crossing T's.

I've always said that Ott is my #1 - above Ruth. Go for it.

Thank you sir

I just read my last two posts... why in the hell do I have such a affection for "that said"? Jesus.
