Maris Autograph Experts - Am I Crazy?

[canjond]

So I was looking for an earlier signature of Maris for a '62 Topps autographed team set I've been working on (I have a "later" signed '62 Topps Maris card, but really wanted an earlier one). I came across the below pictured card and was very pleased to find it as it matched what I was looking for.

I've owned (and still own) dozens of Maris signatures, all of which are authenticated, so feel as though I'm a pretty good judge of Maris signatues. Both in the scans prior to my purchasing the card, and when I had it in hand, the signature looked good to me and I saw nothing that would lead me to think otherwise. So, off to PSA it went.

Now, I also admit that I do not put a lot of faith in TPAs, but do get my items authenticated for 2 important reasons - 1.) most importantly, my insurance company will only insure my autographs that have been deemed authenticated by certain approved authenticators (both JSA and PSA/DNA are on the list); and #2.) resale value/ability (for example, if I was to upgrade the condition of the card, per se.

I was shocked to log on today and find that PSA/DNA deemed the Maris to be questionable authenticity. I do not believe that PSA is correct on this one, but wanted to see if those that know Maris' signature think I'm crazy and the below pictured card is not good. I also apologize in advance for the scans. Since I don't have the card in hand, I'm not able to scan the signature in a large, clear way.

I've honestly never seen any Maris autograph that exactly matches that style, vintage or modern, authentic or clubhouse. The slant is all over the place, the individual letter formations don't really come close.

Edited to add: It does come slightly close to a secretarial style from the mid-late 1960's (Cardinals era, I'd say). Regardless, I'd get a refund ASAP.

Thanks Jodi. I certainly value your opinion.

Jon - go for the refund, I have never seen any Maris that looks like that, including the very early Maris signatures.

Thank you Richard. The seller has been very responsive so far and will be refunding me as soon as I return the card to him. I really do appreciate both you and Jodi giving me your thoughts.
