I was contacted by a couple that won this at a church raffle in the late 70's early 80's. They were wondering if it was real and if they should get it authenticated.. I don't deal autos, but I do have an opinion. Picture stinks but I didnt take it sorry. Any and all opinions welcome.
Thanks as always

Hard to say based on the photo...signature looks almost too good (the "s" might be slightly off). Based on what I know of Jackie rarely signing on the sweet spot, I would be skeptical...just my two cents.

EVERYTHING about the sig is wayyyyy too perfect to be real!

Compare the R in the last name Robinson to examples of his autograph you will see that the end of his R is always made with a right downward stroke after the loop in the R.

(not an expert but this looks obvious even in blurry scan)
