Mark SteinbergHoblitzel's autograph is not a deal-killer in my opinion. I do see a slight vertical line before the "z", and there are just not enough exemplars readily available to determine authenticity (I've been looking for some and can't find anything besides the T-205). I don't think you can strictly go by the facsimilie auto on T-205 Card posted.
Are you hesitant to authenticate because of the potential fees involved? Can you do a "quick opinion", and if it returns "likely positive", then you'd have a better basis/incentive for dending it in? This piece would be infinitely more valuable with a letter form PSA or Spence.
Sorry I can't write or spell.... meant to say "If it returns as "Likely Genuine", you would have a better incentive for sending it in for a full authentication...
