Need some help with this auto and this company
 
I've got a chance to buy this autographed 8x10. Guy says it's authenticated by Star Authentics (not Pro Star but just Star). He says he's also gotten it verified by a third-party handwriting expert for what it's worth.

I don't deal in autographs of these types of players (mainly deal in 70s-90s players), but it's a decent price he's offering it at (and one within my range). So I'm highly interested if it's authentic. Note, he's not giving it away, and the price isn't a red flag. But he's got it at a decent price that at this time I can actually afford.

Here's what the picture and autographs look like...

I have the same photo I got autographed when the three of them were at the same show. I will try pull it out tomorrow and scan it to compare.
Something just looks off to me on all three signatures......however, I am no expert or even close but something just seems to be a little off.

I don't like the "M" in Mickey. Where it kind of loops below the "i" looks like a deliberate stopping motion creating a dot instead of a flowing loop. The rest of the "M" still looks off also.
I also don't like the "T" in Ted near the bottom of the letter. It looks off to me from the others I see on ebay. Who knows, maybe the others are bad and yours is good......
Whatever you do, I hope it works out for you.
I will still look for mine to compare.

I could be wrong but I think there's a chance someone ruined a DiMaggio, Williams piece by adding in a terrible Mantle.

Try posting in the autograph section to get more opinions.

I am far from an expert, saying that they all look bad to me.

EDIT: I posted the pic in the autograph section. https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...57#post2142157
