Koufax Secretarial??

The y and the K would make it period signed if it was real. He stopped the loop in the K pretty early

The style of the signature resembles the way he was signing around 1965, but I do believe it is secretarial. The letters may have a similar style, but the slant is almost never quite correct with the secretarial versions as well as with the forgeries, and some letters are difficult to get the flow correct for them as well. There can always be exceptions, but I don't think this authentic.

Thanks, I was fairly certain JSA was correct, just wanted a few more eyes on it, before I moved it.

I believe it is good. Just my opinion.

Thanks! may I ask why? I thought given the provenance of the collection it was probably good but deferred to JSA, maybe I give PSA/DNA a shot?

I have to chime in. I’ve seen a lot of Sandy Koufax’s autographs over the years…I have several myself…and I can never remember seeing him start the K with that little 1/2 loop that this one has. He always starts the K with a vertical pen stroke.
I’m skeptical that this one is authentic. Sorry, wish the consensus was that it was real.

This appears to be a nice vintage early to mid 60's signature to me. Here are a couple of photos from PSA that are dated 1964 and 1966. I am willing to be wrong, but I believe the card is authentic. I can't say whether it will be any better at PSA. Just my opinion
