Autograph opinion needed
 

Interested in getting opinions on these sigs. Most of the Bakers i've seen are signed Franklin. Thanks for any help offered.

There are certainly many that know more than me but the Ki Ki looks ok to me.

Not an expert on Frank Baker, especially his early signatures, but this one looks to be signed post playing days. He did sign several different ways. Franklin Baker, J. Franklin Baker, Frank Baker, Frank "home run" Baker, etc.
The Frank in yours shows consistencies with others I've seen...the Baker does too although I've seen a few variations in that part of his name over the years.

I think Baker is good as well. I have seen his signature in numerous forms, including the one you posted. I see no inconsistencies at all.

The Frank Baker is def. good. I own a similar example and I was shooting for the one in Clean Sweep auction a few months ago (on a card) and saw a nice at the Hunt show last week.
