I just don't see how if this is the only ever DT Young signature that anyone would stake their entire reputation behind saying it is likely authentic even though there is nothing to compare it to. Even if JSA thinks that the signature is authentic, I would have a hard time staking my reputation on a maybe. This is going to be a high profile auction. If they are wrong, people are going to know. Would JSA authenticate a Plato signature on the side of some ancient pottery too just because it matched the time period and writing device?
