Good point.
I had looked at his autograph as well and it is relatively close although the two points you make are valid. The Robinson IMO is authentic. Did Jackie sign for Rowan? Maybe? I could certainly be wrong but I have studied Jackie's autograph for many years and I think it was signed in the early 60's. Also, if you were going to forge it, why personalize it?
I'm sure there will be other responses from the autograph regulars but if someone brought it to me at a show with a reasonable asking price, I would buy it.
