Roger Maris Autograph, Opinion needed

[kaddyshack]

I bought this Roger Maris autograph years ago ( Card show in Roanoke, VA ).
Anyhow, I have this hanging on my wall, but would like an opinion of likely or not
likely. I don't plan on selling it. I would have sent it off to JSA, but the picture is
adhered to a plaque with a piece of plexiglass covering it. Any opinions would be
appreciated.

I don't like it . Too much sloppiness, and stuff you usually don't see in a Real Maris.

Thanks for your opinion Scott. I've had a well know authenticator look at it, and
he was not sure either, but when I told him who I bought it from, he said it's
probably good. This was not re-assuring to me. Anyhow, I like the picture and
have no plans on trying to sell it. By the way, I paid $50 for it back in 1985.

I just sold this photo, so this is not an advertisement.
Here is an authentic Maris, feel free to compare to the photo that is posted.

I was thinking of Richard's when I made my statement. On the one in this thread, the R looks really thin, and other letter formation off, especially the way the s finishes. Also, I was told by an old time collector once that Maris rarely dots the I, mostly does a circle or close to circular deal instead. Richards looks much more like that, as well as being a perfect sig overall. whoever got that sure got a winner of an autograph

Glad you sold it. Now the temptation is gone. I was REALLY tempted.
