Can't say I'm a fan of the Gehrig or Ruth, both look off

I think all might be bad. Reggie and Barry could actually be ok.

Really hate to see this

What do you think is off about the Mantle?

I can barely see any difference between it and this one...

that's my opinion as well, neither flow like you would expect. They look like someone took their time to write them down while looking at a real one.

It has nothing to do with "flow." There isn't a letter in either "signature" that is formed correctly.

the ruth is decent enough to fool someone who just has a casual knowledge of what his signature looks like. But one of the ways to judge a forgery is the flow of the letters from one to the next. When you sign your name , you don't think about how you do it, you just do it. Forgers have to make an effort to try and get as close as they can. (this link gives more information of what I am referring to)- http://www.questioneddocuments.com/s...tures-forgery/

Take late Ted Williams signatures for example, post stroke, they look different than his other, earlier signatures, but are equally authentic (if less visually appealing) but they still have a visual flow that shows it was signed quickly and casually.
