Koufax help, please

[Bossfan]

Any thoughts on this? To this untrained eye I don't like it, but it's on a very reputable auction site that I have never gotten a bad ball from. Thanks for the help!

What site? That would be helpful.

Looks bad. S is forced. F doesn't look good. I'd say maybe it was a recent IP graph at spring training but I doubt he would have inscribed it then

That's a very good point. I was going to say it might be good and may have been rushed (thus the shortened "Sandy") but then again, it's a bit strange to write an inscription if the signature was rushed.

Not good and even if it was, a crappy looking example. There are enough out there to get something unquestionable and nicer looking.

The S looks off to me.

I have seen alot of his signatures and I believe this is one of the worst -

Pass on this IMO

If he was signing on the run I am sure he would not have added his hof year.

[toyman55]

was this a autograph recently signed? I have seen examples of his current autograph and it is no longer like it was years ago.

[jimjim]

Nowadays he only adds HOF for online authentics items. He doesn't add inscriptions for in person freebies.

Here is a recent in-person sig I got from Koufax myself at Dodgers spring training. I don't think it resembles the signature on the ball posted:
