I also agree with Comiskey and Speaker for strictly HOF sigs.
Mark,
Actually, I have seen a couple of Duffy Lewis forgeries. They were on team/multi-signed Red Sox championship team pieces. Both were forged by the same crook (no, I'm not saying who). You're entirely correct--they were terrible attempts!
Also, Speaker's signature is very difficult to forge due to the unique intricacy of the "T" in Tris. I often wonder how he ever came up with the idea to construct it like that. Only recently I finally saw one forgery that really did come close. The forger nearly mastered the "T", but lost it in other areas which one would think would be much easier to replicate.
