Traynor's sig on this picture is ornate and is in felt tip pen, his signature stopped being ornate way before the felt tip pen era (which started in the 1960's). As you clearly stated in your earlier post, Traynor's ornate signature stopped being ornate way before the 1960's.
Dross probably only had ornate exemplars to work from.
When holding the picture in hand it is easier to see how labored and slowly written it is.
Also, when this scam broke I saw a few of the photos that were part of the scam and remember Traynor was one of them. I also remember Yawkey because it was so unusual to see him on a signed photo.
If memory is correct, Roush, L. Waner and Coveleski were part of this group of photos also. There were others that I don't remember but the vast majority of this scam was B&W plaks. I just found my photocopies of the plaks and will list them in a few minutes.
