    Mets Casey Stengel auto too good to be true?

    Have seen this Stengel auto'd card a few times on ebay, I've NEVER seen a Stengel autograph like this, so sharp and crisp. Was the sharpie used for the auto even around before 1975, the time of Stengel's death? This is not an attack on the seller, who may or may not be a member, I'm just very leery of the autograph.

    I've known the seller since the 1970s. He was a major signature seeker in the day in Cincinnati, hitting the ballparks and hotels and generally refusing to pay for autographs at shows. I used to deal with him at the old Sharonville 3-day shows in November of every year. I always got good stuff from him.

    I'm slightly dubious of both the signature and the story but regardless, it's not worth the price being asked.

    If the autograph is real it isn't too far overpriced. I have seen trading cards certified by PSA/DNA sell for around $350.00 each and again, if this autograph is genuine the signature looks pretty nice.
