Yogi Berra ghost signed??

[jimjim]

I just received an autographed HOF postcard from Yogi in the mail today. I am almost certain it is ghost signed. Not to get everyone up in arms, as maybe some are coming back real, but this one just looked a bit off to me. So I pulled up some examples from Yogi's website, and lo and behold, the 'B' in Berra is different. Just take a look and you will see what I mean. Yogi has one of the most consistent autos over the past 20 + years, so I don't see him changing it at this point. The authentic 'B' starts at the bottom and loops over in one single stroke. The one I received today does not look like that at all. Look at some of the recent examples in the TTM Manager like RockieFans success from April 2011. Maybe I wrong, but worth the discussion....

Do you have pictures?

I suggest looking at TTM Manager of RockieFans success from April 2011, which is a possible ghost signed. And compare to the autos on Yogi's website. Focus on the 'B' in Berra.

I felt the same when I got this a few months back. I am almost certain it is ghost signed. It came along with a signed index card and read. To Mike. Best of Luck, Yogi Berra

Look at the second and third sig on these balls from his website. The B is different. I think he just mixes it up.

Actually, that looks real. The 'B' is spot on. I think that some are real and some are ghostsigned.

Oh, that looks promising. Thanks for that. The 'B' in the the ball signed 'Larry Yogi Berra HOF' matches up with what I received today.

Good luck! I hope it's real for you...

I think that it is highly unlikely that they are ghostsigned- if they were, many more people would be getting successes from him!
