Please let me know your thoughts on the authenticity of this Dizzy Dean....

James, what does the rest of the sheet look like? Are there other signatures? At first glance the dean looks ok to me but I'm far from an expert. I've seen a couple different variations of his signature.

Do you think this is a non malicious clubhouse?

No. I believe it is 100% authentic. Chris and JoeD are the ones who feel it to be "not authentic".

Just a sloppy forgery.
Clubhouse? Possibly. |

Chris,
What's your reasoning? I have been told by two highly respected authenticators that it is 100% authentic....and no Travis, it wasn't PSA and JSA.

The full sheet only has the word "Cubs" on it. It is an early signature from 1938...

I'll preface this by stating Dean is not my area of expertise, so take this for what it is worth...
Overall this signature appears to have a hesitant, tentative look. It's hard to describe, but I see "too much thinking" in it. There is obvious wobble throughout both Ds. They were not executed smoothly and have an unusual "boxy" shape. The "izzy" starts with a hard dot (hesitation) and the pen only sped up when he hit the "home stretch" ... the final loop of the y. One could argue that it is an "in-hand" standing signature. Maybe that is the case, but the wobble I see here doesn't strike me as the same kind of shakiness you see with an in-hand signature. I cannot state with certainty, but I think there is a valid case for reasonable doubt.
