I bought a binder of baseball cards a year or two ago for around $1, it contained some nice rookie cards but nothing in amazing shape. I did find this Jaun Marichal Card in there which appears to be autographed and was wondering whether people think it is authentic and worth taking to JSA. I bought the cards at a yard sale, the father said they were his sons cards. None of the Marichal autographs that I see on line have that bottom triangle in the J and it appears to be missing the n
I looked through many of the sigs, his varied a bit at times, I did see 2-3 with the extra loop at bottom of "J" but they are scarce. The lack of an "n" might be because he was hurried? Ive done that with my own sigs before :)
The "ch" on yours is also slightly unusual but I did see some.
On a positive note....The speed that the sig was written looks good and I always say a forger usually doesnt try to fake on something with good value,.... they like to sign balls, 3X5, and cheaper photos.
here is one with that "J"
