The 1/2 on left looks fake to me. the 2/2 looks more like his signature to me.

Imo, no chance. Left is exactly spot on and I have many IP that are identical to it.

The 1/2 is written with a thicker blue sharpie than the numbering whereas the 2/2 looks to be in the same pen.

I've never seen an authentic one that looked quite like the one on the left. To me that looks like an attempt at an earlier version of his signature C. 1994 but they didn't get it right. the 2/2 seems more in line with his C. 2006 signature version where in Rodriguez he went into the DG loop thing in the middle. Just my opinion. Here's a factory 2006 I saw on ebay.

the 1/2 style looks a lot like forgeries I've seen on 1994 minor leagues cards sometimes in later GAI holders

Here's an authentic one that is exactly like the left one. Even GAI can get some right.

One on the right and one you posted are not even remotely similar.

But how can one (or both) of those autographs be phony? They're both PSA Certified!!
Nothing protects a collector like PSA certification. The hobby depends upon it!

What is to become of us?

Agree to disagree I guess. The example I showed is much more similar to it than the other. To me ,the #1/2 example shows the ROD earlier signature style C. 1994 and is signed in thicker pen than the 1/2.

C.2006 examples mostly seem to have the DG loop that comes after the R in Rodriguez that looks a bit like a stretched out 8 on an angle. I don't think Alex signed in that earlier style in 2006 anymore, which is supposed to have been when these were both signed as it's a buyback auto insert.

Regardless if one is real, neither, both, the style in the #1/2 signature looks like an early style attempt to me. the waviness/unevenness of the plain of the writing also stands out to me.
