Default Can I get an opinion - Sammy Sosa auto?

I bought this bat at a yard sale, along with another bat that has a Griffey, Jr. signature.
It doesn't look like Sammy's later signatures, but it kind of looks like maybe an earlier signature?
I am no expert, so I was wondering if I could get some opinions.

I don't have a lot of money in it (I paid $30, thinking that was what the bat was worth), and am not inclined to spend anymore to ask PSA, JSA, etc.

Any experts out there who want to chime in?

Thanks,
Sean

I have not seen a Sosa auto remotely close to that. Not authentic. Sorry.
If you search Sosa autos on eBay you will find quite a few authentic examples. Most of the home run chase era and later almost all look like Sammmmy (slightly raised #21) Sosa. Even his older signatures with the White Sox and Rangers have the same basic function. His earlier signatures were a little less refined/hurried, but basically a similar signature, although the "S" in the names came vary from a more cursive S (earlier) to a more fancy print S (later). They all also share a "loop back" after the "a" in Sosa. Hope that helps.
