Hi guys,
Hoping for some assistance on this one. If anyone is very comfortable with Grover Cleveland Alexander, what do you think of this example in the upper left? Almost all that I have had of him are just initial signed (G.C. Alexander), though I know he did signed full name as well. Thanks for taking the time to look. |

I'm no super expert, but I do not like the G on grover, the A in Alexander nor the loopy C.
Maybe it's a late one where he was older,..... but IDK. I'm sketchy

FWIW I don't care for it . The whole signature looks off and the "feel and flow"don't seem right to me.
Someone may know his signature better than me and let them opine too on it . It doesn't match well with my 2 of him . Last edited by Klrdds; 07-18-2017 at 04:38 PM. |

Thanks to those who have responded. I'll admit, I am not sold either way on this one (the loop in the A keeps catching my attention, and overall the flow just doesn't seem quite right, at least to my eye), which means I will probably just stay away from it if I am not 100% certain. It's part of a potential trade deal for a high end autograph, but the deal won't work without the Alexander. For those who were active in the autograph world in the early 1990's, the owner of the autographs said they originated from a dealer (or collector/dealer/authenticator?) named Richard Patton, out of California. And for the sake of comparison (and for fun), I am putting several Alexander autographs below that I found online and feel are authentic, and are signed on the same medium/ signature style for comparison.

I started seriously collection out here in California around 87, but I don't remember Patton...but that doesn't mean anything. I'll tell you what, I don't know if it's the photo of the sig in question, but it looks like it has a bit more pressure throughout the sig than normal, and that A is really bothering me, and I couldn't find another, whether it was on a ball, a document or a 3x5 that had the loop at the bottom of the A going in to the L.
