Baseball Forger Selling "Bill Dickey Estate" Items
There is a forger operating out of Memphis who is attempting to sell forged
baseballs claiming that they are coming from the Bill Dickey estate. I have seen a single signed Babe Ruth baseball (with no inscription) and a 1938 team signed Yankee baseball that have both come apparently from this same person. If Ruth had ever signed a ball for Dickey he certainly would have inscribed it. The 1938 Yankee ball has Gehrig on the sweet spot (a poor forgery) and a forged Joe DiMaggio on a side panel, which made me laugh. The DiMaggio signature that is forged on the ball is a forgery of his 1980s and 1990s signature, which differed quite a bit from his 1938 signature. If any of this material is offered to you just ignore it. If you can get scans, please send them to me. -- |
