Jackie Robinson Opinion

[Kathy062495]

I have enjoyed this forum for several years. I take a peek almost every night as a stress release and to educate myself about baseball card and autograph collecting. I have an opportunity to purchase this Jackie Robinson autograph. It looks similar to many that I have seen on this forum and others but the J and R in his name look a little "plump" compared to others. Opinions are greatly appreciated

This one doesnt look right to me.

I’d hold off

Jackie had a habit of rounding his "s"'s at the top. Look at all the authentic exemplars and you'll see. All 3 "s"'s here are pointy at the top (missing the last 's' in 'wishes'). On authentic examples you'll see maybe 1 out of 4 that are pointy, but that's it.

Not crazy about the A in Jackie or the last N in Robinson. If it were me I'd pass.

I appreciate the opinions. It makes me question the authenticity of other autographs in the collection that are for sale (Foxx, Waner, Traynor, Lajoie and Vance). I may post those for an opinion also.
