Like Jason, I got Kirby tons of times from 1984 to shortly before his death. I think this Kirby is probably authentic but it's a tough one. The time frame of 2003-2005 definitely matches with this type of signature. Also, the story of Kirby not wanting photos matches perfectly. After the SI article came out in March of 2003 Kirby was much different at signings often times giving very small signatures.
