MarkAgree.... would not give up on this one. The autograph was fit into a small space, and it could well be a hurried signature. The fact that it's in pencil is likely a plus as well.
The REAL autograph gurus in this forum (a couple of which have probably seen this post already) are probably refraining from comment, as they are typically paid to render opinions on authenticity.
But it would sure be interesting to hear what they think about this one.
