Walt Disney auto opinions

[Jcosta19]

Purchased in a lot from a reputable auction house without a COA, as they have a good rep and Disney experts. They sell most of his autos this way including another one I have.

This one I wasn't sure but took a shot on.
JSA says it's no good, vintage secretarial which I was nervous about from the beginning. AH has offered full refund but figured I'd get other opinions as well before sending it back.

Appreciate any help.
It's on an old 13x17 large envelope. So fairly large auto.Screenshot_20230806_203920_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20230806_204001_Chrome.jpg

Looking at autographs on the internets and signatures seem to be all over the place in styles. Except for in-person, I doubt anyone could say a signature is real or not. Simply a guess. IMHO

I have at times been interested in purchasing a Disney auto but full disclosure...I've never bought one because as mentioned above, the sigs are all over the place. But from what first came into my mind from the example above is that that there seems to be a mix of styles of individual letters that don't seem to fit together. For example, the "A" as a block letter. There are exemplars I've seen that have that type of "A" but there is the cursive small "a" that seems to fit with the other letters in the signature better, likely depending on the date of the signature. Not saying it isn't authentic. I'm just not close to 100% convinced that it is. Not that everything that I think is 100% legit will always turn out to be legit or vice versa. But whenever I buy something that's autographed or want to take something to a third-party authenticator, I just have to feel it's nearly 100% legit going in or else I'm more apprehensive about paying the fee just to have them look at it and tell me it's not authentic (especially if it's a large fee, which I assume Disney would be).

Not authentic IMO.

Thanks guys. I had my suspicions but since it was a lot with other items I wanted and a good price I took a shot, willing to gamble on the cost of authentication.

Surprised the auction house let it slip through honestly.
