Juil Fewer?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I got an e-mail from somebody asking if I could help identify this signature on an unnumbered Mets jersey. Anyone recognize it?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tom Seaver

[Ceetar]

is that a J,..or a D?

Jui? dui? dw?

can I tweet it?

[Ceetar]

geeze. someone should work on Tom with his Ts.


but hah..that's pretty much jackpot for an unknown sig on a Mets jersey right?

[soupcan]

I'd also think that any Met fan worth his salt could recognize a Seaver sig pretty damn quickly.

Nah, not if you're really not into that memorabilia sorta thing. (as I'm not)

I'm most committed to an initial J and a final r. But Jim Dwyer and Jim Gosger and Jimmy Schaffer don't work, as there's nothing jumping above or below the line in the last name to represent a y or a g or an f.

I'd think Met Hunter could get this in two seconds.

no, JCL is right, it's definitely Seaver.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, you right.

[soupcan]

C'mon you guys are kidding right?

There's absolutely no doubt that's Seaver.

[metsmarathon]

it looks to me like it's someone trying to replicate tom seaver, only they didn't really know what they were replicating, so they botched it. the S is in so many pieces. not that ol' terriffic's S is particularly clear, but this one is a disaster.

I guess I'm not worth my salt, because I thought it was Juil Fewer.

How would I know what Tom Seaver's autograph looks like? It's been years since I've scrutinized his 1971 baseball card.

I don't do autographs.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I don't know anything about Met autographs but recognized that as Seaver's signature right away.

[Edgy MD]

[soupcan]

I apologize then, I certainly did not mean to insult any of you for not recognizing it.

I'm not an autograph guy per se either but....its Seaver.

Between him and Johnny Bench, those have got to be two of the most recognizable autographs out there. I guess since I was a kid I've been looking at Seaver & Bench autographs so it's just second nature to me.

Seaver was THE man on my favorite team and Bench I just loved for whatever reason.




Now that I look at them side by side, they are quite similar aren't they?

Julio Franco.

100 percent Seaver.....or a forgery
