Any Dale Earnhardt Sr experts?

Doesn't look good. Not an expert but I've owned a few.

I am not an autograph expert, but I was a huge Earnhardt fan. I don't think it is good for a couple reasons. Earnhardt's autograph has much more of a flourish and less defined letters than that one does.

One other thing that stood out to me was the inclusion of the "#3." Earnhardt rarely to never did that when signing autographs. Just look around on Google and try to find Earnhardt autographs with "#3" included.

Thank you for your guy's thoughts.

I had my doubts for all of the same reasons you all have listed but because of the nature of the relationship my contact had with Sr., I felt that perhaps this was not a rushed signature like so many one sees on Ebay but rather a signature where he took his time for a friend.

Honestly, I think this is also fake because I think my acquaintance took the easy way out but just wanted to be sure. I would certainly welcome any other thoughts.

I would say your suspicions are true. I will attach one that I currently have for sale. I have bought and sold many over the years since his death. The photo itself is a promo photo that he used to send out and they are rare to find unautographed. The one you have is sometimes signed by both guys. He is a similar one that I have for sale right now. The is what his autograph generally looks like all the way up until his death. Very loopy and flowing. His earlier (80’s) style is a little less flowing, but still follows this same pattern.

I think you just cemented my suspicions. This was something that was given to me so I am out nothing but from the start I knew it was fake and wanted to make sure.

Thank you everyone for your opinions.
