Help on Home Run Baker B&W Plaque postcard
 

In context with the rest of collection, I'm leaning good. The "J" looks like the post stroke signature examples that I seen. Front of the card is fine, but was glued into a book. Educated opinions only please.

Gut says fake. He mostly signed as J. Franklin Baker or on somewhat rarer occasions Frank "Home Run" Baker. I've never seen John "Home Run" Baker.

Personally never seen a John Baker. Either J. Franklin Baker, or Frank Homerun Baker, or just Frank Baker. Doesn't look right to me.

Agreed. There are post-strokes ones out there and they are all signed Frank Baker.

I've also never seen an example of him using ( ) around Home Run, all the ones I've seen, he used " ".

No good in my opinion

very weird signature, stay away

No matter his signing habits or characteristics this one isn't good . Matches none of mine or any signatures from his life that I've ever seen.
