Obviously, there are good forgers out there and forging on a medium like this helps cover up issues.
Brendan is likely 100% correct on the autographs being forged.

Agreed on the first paragraph which says a LOT (forensic examiners) and most if not all of the rest. On a cloth or abnormal surface there are going to be irregularities in the normal formation of the signatures making it tough for anyone to authenticate. So then IMHO the question comes down to provenance of which there appears to be none. If it's authentic or not who knows based on the above, I personally would not buy it. It's probably a cliche by now but with autographs "When in doubt bow out". If you already own it and have no plans to sell it, it will display nicely.
