Walt Bond autograph help

[Case12]

I am not expert on his autograph, but recently picked this up. Maybe it will help.

Something about this looks very off to me. They all appear to be the same (thickness, pressure, etc). It almost looks like someone assembled facsimile autos onto a page and printed it. I also question the header. That would appear to be printed on there. Not sure when printers became commonplace, but 1964 seems a bit early for that. Are you saying that these are supposed to be real signatures or simply a display of printed facsimile signatures

That looks like something the team would send out to fans who wrote to the team...... along with a souvenir list, some skeds and some post cards or a team photo. The Astros were always one of the better teams in sending free stuff.

Any thoughts/comments regarding the Bond autograph?

The page is a fan hand out facsimile. I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Only wanted to show what Walt Bond auto would look like. I too am interested on thoughts on the card. They can be pricey.....

Another example for comparison. I think this and the facsimile look similar, especially how the "a" leads into the "l", the closed "d", and also the slant. The signed card looks different to me but I'm no expert.

I have a signed 1961 card and copies that a very kind Net54 member sent me from a contract that he signed. The signature on the 1965 card looks very similar to these samples, but I'm not an expert either.

I'm hoping others will offer their expertise as well.
