Yeah, I'd pass for sure also. Griffey has the neatest signature of his era and this is not a neat signature. He usually curls the J at the end but early in his career he signed without the curl and occasionally he would go back to it during his career (primarily though it was with the curl). However, when he signed/signs with no curl the J is no where near as wide as he does with the curl. The J here is without the curl but is also wide. In addition, I do not believe he ever swooped up on the beginning of the K, instead he just started at the top and drew a line down (think of a lowercase L instead of the number 1). The G also looks very sloppy (though I have seen a few similar to this that are authentic).
