In this case though, while I have little doubt that the signature is original, you're probably going to need to fully-identify who the signer is for any kind of authentication.

He played major league baseball from 1943 to 1957 as catcher for the Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies, appeared in the 1950 World Series, and was selected in 1949 as an All-Star. After retiring, Seminick worked for the Philadelphia organization for the rest of his life. First, as a coach with the Phillies (1957-58), then managed 11 Phillies' minor-league teams (1959-66, 1970-73), and returned as a coach for the Phillies (1967-69). After that, he scouted and served as a roving minor-league instructor for the Phillies (1974 to mid-1980s). Notably, ninety of the players he managed or coached eventually played in the major leagues. In the 1990s, Seminick served as a catching instructor for Philadelphia in spring training and in the Florida Instructional League. SKU: XP12754
