First of all this is clearly a forgery . As the former owner of one of the only Ben Taylor autographs known, I had HLS of him that I sold a few months ago for an astronomical sum of money,and this is a poor forgery too.
You had doubts but pulled the trigger anyway. Educate yourself and do not be blinded by the novelty of the autograph or the blind desire to get it.
I would return it as a fake . Also know that a Ben Taylor autograph WOULD NEVER EVER be in a group lot. It is strong enough to carry a separate lot designation all by itself.
Return it but with a lesson learned .
