I think your instincts are correct.

You beat me to it. I'd have to imagine that it was a non-malicious gift to get in the good graces of one Miss Eleanor.

Here is mine from during the war. I don't think it's too far off; it's a little "rounded" to me, but I'd think you have to consider scrunching the sig onto the lobe of a ball vs. a wide open book page.

I agree, it's definitely a little rounded. The r seems a little odd as well. (For some reason, I think I've seen one like this before, but can't seem to recall where or when) I can also agree with giving consideration to the scrunching.. Looking past the sig itself and focusing a bit on the inscriptions. The "Best Wishes" and "Sincerely" actually look pretty good, when compared to other times he's used them.

If this were one of those "non-malicious gift" type deals, I can't imagine that the inscription would be anywhere close..

Also, if this were a fake, I can't imagine someone spending more time on getting the inscriptions right, than they did on the signature itself..

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's real...I wouldn't quote me on that, but it's just a hunch..

Who cares yes or no it is worth nothing but the value of the ball.
Why dont any of you answer the big question is the Williams good or not. I want to know if Psa thinks the same as I do or you.

Quick opinion likes the Williams 8 x 10. I just got the results back a litle while ago.
