won this in legendary, supposedly it comes with a full JSA loa, but the piece is frame and matted. description states it's black fountain pen on magazine paper. a board member has already stated his doubt about the signature to me. any feedback welcome. hopefully the scan is sufficient, i don't want a $750 forgery.

I don't like it. I have two of his hand-written letters, and three signatures. Comparing against his writing in those, including two envelopes that he also addressed, I don't like it.
Sorry to say that.

thx scott. i want to hear the truth, i haven't sent payment so if it's bad i will inform them i'm not paying. i will be surprised tho that if everyone think it's bad how it got a full letter from JSA.

What you have is a simple personalized autograph, which he might not sign the same way he would write the same words/letters in a handwritten letter. Basically, when he's signing a letter, he's not providing an autograph as a collectible item, but with your item, he IS. I know that would affect the way I signed something. I would take advantage of Mr. Stinson's offer (assuming it's still being offered) - he's one of the most respected authenticators around.

One more thing - I am NOT one of the anti-JSA guys. I have plenty of items with JSA letters, and I'm certain they are all legit.

"Please keep in mind that is the job of any forger to make the signatures MATCH, its easy to do; for a good authenticator the signature itself (in most cases) is the LAST thing he looks at." - Jim Stinson
Bearing the above in mind, the signature on my Exhibit card looks a lot like yours and I wouldn't rule out it being authentic until Jim has had a chance to give his opinion.
