I compared to PSA/DNA examples and I thought they were extremely similar. I trust your expertise, but I am simply trying to learn.

Keep in mind that scanned/printed autographs will be more than extremely similar (as in, an exact duplication, which may not be evident unless examined up close).
While a piece being framed/matted in and of itself isn't a giveaway that it's fake, it does provide the seller with a convenient excuse for not providing a large, clear, straight-on image of the signature (the flash reflected off the glass, the frame wouldn't fit on my scanner, etc). Just one more thing to be aware of and factor into your decision.
