Looking for a little help on a Griffey Jr/Sr auto'd bat

i43770 · Jan 8, 2011

It has a Score Board COA. It is a special edition bat #d/500 about the two playing together for the first time in 1990.

Has anyone seen these before? Are the autos legit? Any idea on value?

Thanks

they both look legit

Not too familiar with them but they both look very slow and deliberate and very bad to me

Where do you see that? Other than the top of the G in Jr's last name, it looks flowing on both signatures.

The Jr. signature on the bat is an earlier version of his signature and is nearly identical.

Believe it or not, not all of Scoreboard's items were fakes and junk. Too many BIG fakes ruined their name for good though.

I understand what they turned into (after the fathers death), but what is wrong with the earlier COAs?

Nothing is wrong. Your autos are legit. Hope you got a good deal.

I also think they look legit. Just an early version of Junior's auto.

I'm not an authenticator.

But the pen strokes on both look way too heavy. Junior usually always has a real light pen stroke.

Both look off to me.

Just looked at my Griffey Sr. auto. Not consistent with the auto I have.

Is your Sr auto also on on a bat? Bat autos look heavier because they are rounded and need to be signed slightly slower in comparison to a flat item like a card or photo. Compare to a ball and it should be relatively similar in stroke, but would be thinner as its in pen and not in marker.

No sir. My Sr. auto in on a baseball card.

Flat items have a faster, thinner, smoother signature. Bats/Balls have a slower signature and tend to be thicker.

Yessir, I realize that. I've been in the hobby for a while.

Settle down...i'm not calling you out at all. As I said earlier, I'm NOT an authenticator. It's just my opinion. I wouldn't purchase. The OP can do whatever he wants with my opinion.....

I dont know why youre telling me to settle down. Im simply saying why youre wrong and backing it with proven information. You may have been in the hobby for awhile, but clearly your knowledge of memorabilia signatures isnt up to par. Thats just MY opinion.

To each his own. I'm done with you, tough guy...

Bottom line is a scoreboard cert means pass.

I would pass on a Scoreboard with Ken Goldin on it anyday of the week. His father Paul was more legit with the business.

Scoreboard COA or not, the signatures are legit.
