opinion on this declaration of independence signer - Roger Sherman

[csotus]

I know this is primarily a sports related forum but was hoping someone could help me with this autograph from Roger Sherman. He is a founding father who signed the declaration of independence.



The top signature is the one I can purchase. It was certified by GAI in Decemeber of 2015 as authentic. I purchased a quick opinion from PSA and the result was "unable to render opinion". Below is the ebay link, seller is valleybaseballcards.

Your thoughts?

I guess I am most concerned with the "Sh" in Sherman. However, if I look close enough it looks like the "S" has the slant from top loop to bottom and the "h" has a loop at the top, but both are faded.

Just my opinion, but the n in Sherman is completely off/unique...

Also signed the Constitution as well as the Connecticut compromise...and the only o e to sign all three



As well as a distant relative

Ted, He was from New Milford, CT which is the town I traced my ancestors to around the same time he lived in the late 1700s.

I am unfamiliar with the subject, but there are many inconsistencies with the EBay signature. The "LOA" is from a company that often authenticates forgeries, but you should always judge the item not the letter. Assuming the examples you provided are authentic, you should be running away
