Any Reggie Jackson signature experts out there?

[JoeDfan]

My very first memory (and the reason I love baseball) is my dad jumping around the living room as he (we) watched Reggie hit 3 homers in the '77 WS.
Needless to say, I am VERY excited to add this Jackson rookie bat to the Yankee room.
However, the seller said that although Mears liked the bat, JSA didn't like the signature.

Anyone have any thoughts? I saw a couple of early sigs where the "J" looked the same, but I am no autograph expert.

Thanks,
Sean

The R is all wrong...

edit: I'm no expert, though.

This would get more responses in the autograph forum (which is a subset of this forum; a bit confusing to be sure). I'd post it there.

I'm no Reggie expert, but I have gotten him IP and own several certified copies. The one gives me pause because it looks pretty different form the ones I own and have seen. It could be an early example, as you said, and I'm not familiar with his pre-80s signature.

Post it in the autograph section (or ask a mod to move it there). I'm curious what others might have to say.

I have about 10 in person Jackson sigs over the course of about 18 years, and that one doesn't even come close.

I have never seen a reggie jackson like that. I would say no.

Reggie has been my all-time favorite player and my main PC, that us not a good signature. "R" is off and it looks way too slanted.
