I still don't really understand how autograph experts determine what is authentic or not. People's autographs vary so much over time and from one signature to another that it just seems almost impossible to truly know for certain. I've read a lot of the explanations on the autograph forum and I'm always fascinated by their explanations, but never 100% convinced that they're right. That's one reason I've never been into autographed stuff.
If anyone ever needs to see a genuine Sullivan Sr. sig for comparison purposes, by the way, I do have one or two family documents that he signed. In this case , of course, that's not necessary since it's clear it is not his because-due to the brilliant card-comparison sleuthing--we know that whoever signed it signed long after he was long gone.
