Default OT - Any comments on the autograph on this UD card

Posted By: davidcycleback

I'm not an autograph expert, but my impression is that the UD signature is not a forgery. Rather my guess is that it came from a person signing her/his real name, but her/his real name wasn't Connie Mack. The spelling appears so off on this signature, that I don't think someone was forging Mack's name. I'll bet even Shoeless Joe Jackson would know better than to spell Connie with two a's.

Perhaps this signature came from a Connie-related document where one of Connie's family signed. Or perhaps it came from a multi-signed scorecard and, amongst a sea of Mel Otts and Cookie Lavagettos, someone thought this most closely resemebled Connie Mack.
