With facsimile signed photos the preprint signature often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source. A real signature is written on the surface of the photo, and should have a different level of reflectivity than the rest of the surface. A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss.

Cuts are commonly used for inserts by baseball card companies

priceless.....why would you want to get rid of an Arnold Palmer autograph anyways

Depending on the item. Although piccolo did not signed much at all he died at 26 yrs old, his autographs are really scarce and hard to find. Signed cut which are normaly 3x5 sell for around $600 to $700 and a photo 8x10 would sell for around $1200 $1400 Note...... for these items to fetch these prices they need to be authenticated by one or the other, psa/dna or jsa which is james spence authentication.......R.I.P.

Most autographs of his on a baseball go upwards to 100-200 dollars. However it depends what kind of ball its on? A normal baseball? An official league ball? A game used ball? Does it have Authenticity? If not can you prove the signautre is real? Prices vary but look for around 100-200 for an authenticated Mauer signed ball.

The price of Joe Mauer's autographed items will significantly increase after winning the AL MVP award, but as of right now, the price range listed is approximately right.

Joe Mauer is currently exclusively signed by Ironclad Authentics. If the Certificate of Authenticity is not from Ironclad Authentics, then the item will not be authentic.

While being authenticated by Ironclad is very good, if someone were to get joe mauer to sign a ball in person, they could then have it authenticated by any number of third party authenticators such as JSA, PSA DNA, or ACES etc

It depends on which certain card it is. If it's a rookie card it will be about $9 to $15. An ordinary card would be $5 to $9.

An autograph that is not authenticated by a creditable company could sell at half the market value or less. Two of the top, and most trusted authenticators are PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentic (JSA). Collectors will pay more for signatures authenticated by either one. It may sound odd but in some cases PSA/DNA, and JSA authenticated signatures may sell higher than a Letter of authenticity from an unknown or less trusted authenticator that witnessed the signing even though PSA/DNA, and JSA did not. It's just a matter of collectors trust, and collectors will pay more for it. Check the respective websites Show Schedule to see if they will be in the area that you live. They also do business through the mail. If you did not acquire the signatures yourself, or are not sure of its origin, do your homework. Before spending money on having the autograph authenticatedfind signatures on line that have been properly authenticated, and compare them to yours. If you feel comfortable that they are authentic then proceed.

Johnny's 1957 topps rookie card #138 currently as of March, 2009 is valued for a near mint card for $ 450.00 us dollars.

Knowing the origin of the signature is important to it's authenticity. If you know for sure that it was signed in the presence of someone you trust, then the odds are in favor of the signature being authentic. If the signature was found, or the story of it getting signed is questionable then the authenticity of the signature should be in question. That includes being told that the signature was handed down from family members through the years.

Some of the stories start off like this: "Grandpa gave me the baseball when I was a kid. He got it signed when...." The baseball turns out to be a souvenir baseball bought at the stadium with stamped signatures. It happens a lot. You will find this story on eBay at least once a month along with a souvenir baseball..

Find signatures on line that have been authenticated by a reputable company, and compare it with the signature in question. But still beware. A true artist with lots of skill and work can "paint" a Mickey Mantle signature, that has fooled some of the top Authenticators in the Business. But most forgers make common mistakes that can be picked up by even an educated eye. Sign your name 10 times on a piece of paper. First thing you will notice, they are all simalar. They vary slightly from signature to signature, but there are not any major differences in any part of the signature. For example if you sign your name with a Pointed "A" you are unlikely to sign it at another time with a rounded "A". All your signatures should have the same flow. not stopping in the middle of the signature, and re starting, or slowing down at one point, as a traced signature might show, with points of heaver ink where the pen has stopped or slowed. These are some of the things that an expert would look for. Another tell tale sign, are signatures that look too similar, and are exactly alike. Forgers will use Autopens, A mechanical device that "signs" flat objects. They will use Stamps, and even Photo copies. These type of fake signatures are easy to detect, especially when you compare them with others that are not only similar, but exactly the same. Facsimile signatures. A Facsimile autograph is not really a fake. It is not meant to fool anyone into thinking its real. It is a pre printed signature usually used on Souvenir baseballs, promotional photos, Postcards, Bats, Gloves, advertising's etc. A preprint, or facsimile is simply a photographic copy of an original signed photograph. A preprint signature often appears to be below the surface gloss of the photo, and the signature is often very "flat." Hold the photo up at an angle to a light source. A real signature is written on the surface of the photo, and should have a different level of reflectivity than the rest of the surface. A preprint will blend right in with the surface because it's underneath the surface gloss. Obviously, preprint signatures will match exactly, and the signature will be in the same exact place on each photo. On Balls, gloves or Bats, Stamps are created and printed on the object. Another way of telling a facsimile autograph is the ink is too consistent. When you sign your name, you use different angles, and pressure as you sign. This is more evident when signing with sharpie. Some parts of the signature will be darker, or lighter depending on the pressure you put on the pen, or sharpie. On a facsimile, especially a ball, it is usually all the same density, and thickness. When you cross a "T", or at the end of your signature you might tail off as you come off the page. A Facsimile might start, and end with no variation at all. When buying, before dropping down a load of cash for a Signature request better photos, ask what kind of ball is it signed on? how did the seller acquire this autograph? Chain of custody? any one with a good laser printer can create a C.O.A. Life time Guarantee? Who's life time? I bought a life time membership at a Gym. Two years later they went out of business. I'm still alive. The Bottom line is before you buy an autograph, or vintage memorabilia do your homework. You have a computer research the product, make comparisons you might just save yourself some money. This is a multi Billion dollar industry, and there are loads of scam artists out there trying to steal your money. The person you are buying from could have been fooled too, or mistaken. Either way the signature should be professionally authenticated by a reputable company. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
