Is this an authentic Kirby Puckett signature?

Agree. Still wondering why others think it's fake. Not sure why someone would forge a side panel Puckett autograph signed in sharpie!

Puckett was a family friend growing up and have numerous Puckett autos. The "K" is off even if it's rushed. He took great pride in his autograph and wouldn't miss entire letters with his signature.

I stand by what I said. I know Pete is from Minnesota as well, but DWR and I have a pretty good idea what we are talking about too. Take it for what it's worth.

I heard Puckett could sign 1,000 autographs during his session at Twinsfest. He didn't look up, just kept signing in order to accommodate those waiting in line.

I know that's a lot of autographs, and if you have done signings in the past, hard to believe but true or very close. He was a signing machine.
