Is this a real Griffey autograph?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I won an auction for a "Dan Wilson autograph ball" that had another autograph that looked like Ken Griffey, Jr. and was inexpensive enough that I thought it was worth a shot. The side of the ball has a Mariners logo and both autographs are in blue ballpoint pen. I'm contemplating getting it authenticated, but I feel like it's pointless because I have no real context so all they'd say is "consistent", plus I doubt I'd sell it anyway. Thoughts?

Also, yes, that's a Minions Funko on top.

Nope and nope

I actually think that’s a Scott Kingery auto

Scott Spiezio circa '04-'05

Led Zeppelin?

Eh, worth a shot. I have an Ernie Banks autograph that isn't that similar to other authenticated ones I see online, but (a) he wrote Ernest, which I've never seen elsewhere and (b) I know it's legit because I met him. I'm fascinated by people who have consistent signatures.

Perhaps,....a Kevin Griffey or a Kalvin Griffey...?? Then again, don't know if such a person even exists!! However,...I'll bet the farm; it ain't....[B][I]THAT[/I][/B], Griffey!!!

That should have been a pretty big red flag...

It's the same basic reason I have a whole bunch of 1986 Topps Traded Bo Jackson cards, some Tiffany some not. They're basically lottery tickets and I hit like 20% of the time, but when I hit it's like a 500x. Either way, it's a funny story.

^^Pretty sure it's this.

csmtampa 09-26-2023 03:46 PM

Like a few others said it’s not a Ken Griffey Jr autograph lol

akaus21 09-26-2023 03:51 PM

Scarlet Knight 09-26-2023 04:25 PM

Thoughts?

You can’t tell what a Griffey auto looks like.

OP you’re not an expert on every baseball player’s sig? For shame, sir. I too cast ridicule your way.

It really wasn't though. You could've posted the picture prior to and everyone would've told you no.

Can't believe OP hasn't been banned on blowout and stripped of his citizenship.

Moderator probably wants my stash of 1986 Bo Jackson Topps traded regular & Tiffany. Only reason I can figure.
