I just got a message from the eBay seller from whom I purchased the Manny lot (previous post) from, and he said the cards were signed at Fenway Park four years ago. I have no reason to believe he is lying, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. But does this back story change anyone’s mind about the authenticity of these autographs? So far none of the three people who have taken the authenticity poll in that last post can rule them as being fake. One person said they were certain they are real, two are undecided. This is interesting to me because I figured lots of people would automatically discount them as fakes right away. The signatures share similarities with the early Manny autos, but look nothing like those signed in recent years. Hmmm …
