Hughie Jennings, Ty Cobb autographs; help needed!

The ink is positively vintage and all the signatures were signed in the same ink. I just hate to give up so easily and dismiss these as forgeries. Especially since (again) the Stanage and Bush look ok to me.

I don't think the Cobb is as bad as you say it is - Cobb's signature was closer to this in the 1910's, and as I've already mentioned, signing on a bat isn't like signing a ball or a flat. I can excuse every part of the Cobb signature except for the 'C' - the 'C' is totally vintage, but not how Cobb signed.

Can you show a better picture of the 'Stanage'? There are 1910-20's Stanage examples available for comparison.
