Help with Dr. J Signature?

[jimjim]

I posted on the other forum, but I still think it is not authentic. Doesn't look like any Dr. J autographs I have seen over the past 20 years.

The one above would fall into my "Do Not Buy" category. That can range from one I'm certain is fake, to one I'm certain is legit, but I just don't care for the looks of it.

The one below I bought, simply because I wanted the photo. I think I could make a better case (based on characteristics) for it being a hurried Erving auto, but it's pretty bad too. Honestly, it would also fall into "Do Not Buy", but I wanted the HOF display photo.

Not an expert but I am THE official authenticator for myself

Thanks for all the feedback, and thank you, Greg. I will consider this non-authentic and just file it away in the back corners of my collection. One of the few that I have in my collection purchased from a dealer and not obtained in person. I have also removed it for sale on the B/S/T section.

Thank you again for the help.

If this helps for comparison. I got this in Person in the early 80's going in the back entrance to the Sahara Hotel... Showed him how to get to the casino and played several blackjack hands with him. He is and was a GREAT GUY!

It was on the back of a business card that was in my wallet for a few years and has been "swimming" several times. Sold it a couple years ago for less than 20.00.
