Look carefully at the surface of the postcard, the side that the autograph is on. Check for evidence that there might have been a pencil signature on it and been erased...are some spots lighter than others? Is there any indentation in the paper where a previous signature might have been. Is the postmark from Brooklyn?
The "k" in Jackie appears to be a dead giveaway, the signature doesn't have the confident flair you would see in a normal Jackie. As a collector, you shouldn't want to buy or own signatures with obvious flaws when nice ones exist.
