Actually pucketts very early sig looks nothing like his later one.....not saying its real, I'd look into it first but.......

I went looking, and I saw some that looked like this one could be a "sloppy" version of... but it'd be a stretch.

Still make a nice cut

Here's a couple early Puck autos. The "K" is the clincher. Kirby's auto from early to before his death is surprisingly not very different, but there are some sloppy versions out there. He would sign and sign like crazy during Twinsfest back in the day, trying to squeeze in as many as he could, so some would come out pretty poor, but consistent with the K and P.

Just psa dna search on ebay, plenty of older sigs that don't match those K's and P's. Especially when a thicker marker/pen was used.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I picked them up years ago from a reliable source, so I feel confident they are legit. But I understand and appreciate your point. Puck's "P" changed more than the "K."

Here's one of my hurry-up sloppy Twinsfest autos.

Based on the years of those nicer cards, I'd say that these are likely stolen. Who in their right mind would sell them for $1 when they could do much better on eBay for equally little effort? Nobody is buying cards now and not wanting to make as much money from their $120 box as possible. You know, unless one seller having these particular groups of cards would set off alarms with someone recently relieved of their collection and scanning eBay diligently for their missing stuff.

Greg, I'm not insinuating that yours aren't real, I believe they are.

this guy is an older gentlemen who is very well known and respected and he sets up at all the shows. he has so much stuff I doubt he has the time to go through all his stuff as his main focus is vintage and set building. I always find deals in his $1 boxes at the shows & at his yard sales. his whole garage is like a card shop, actually he has more stuff than my local card shop. im 99.98% sure none of this stuff is stolen. He does it as a hobby I don't think hes too worried about $5 cards selling for $1. sure there are a few with sale values of $10+ but for the most part there in the $3-$5 range

would you like his name & number to ask him where he stole them????


not sure why he puts some in the $1 box maybe to keep his customers coming back. he also has over 10,000 feedback on ebay as well

Didn't take it that way, but it is good to be vigilant about autographs--early and late variations. How many variations of Mark McGwire's auto have we seen over the years?

It was just a thought on a message board. I'd love his number but I fear he'd tell me he found them all in a burned out car in the desert.

[MENTION=4248]rum151man[/MENTION] - does that guy have any Ripkens that you came across? Always looking to add more, my friend.

probably a lot in the .10 boxes

Gotcha - if you ever run across some of them (without looking for them) feel free to pull them aside for me and I'll give you your reward. Your eternal reward.

This is like me and Ripkens...always backfires though, as you can see.
