Default Clemente authentication help

I have a friend who owns the attached signed Clemente 1964 Giant card. The story is that his friend got it in person in 1970 at a game in Cinci. I told him I would solicit help from the foremost experts in the industry to get qualified opinions as to its authenticity. Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

I am certainly no expert. I don't generally offer opinions about such things. However, the things that give me pause are the R in Roberto and the LE look different from what I have seen from other examples from that time period. The signature also looks a bit deliberate in my opinion. The spacing between the first and last name seems to be much wider than others I have seen. I think that card in particular is highly sought after by people completing signed versions of that set. That coincidence may or may not be a red flag? For what its worth here is my 1972 Clemente for comparison. It came with fairly solid provenance. I do see some similarity. However my concerns would be enough to dissuade me from buying it. I hope this helps as you await more educated opinions.

Thank you both for your responses. I was concerned about the "R" and the flow of the first name, especially, as well.

Any other opinions are welcome, as I enjoy getting insights of others for educational reasons.

Thanks again.

I’ve got a couple of Clemente’s, and this one feels off unfortunately, everything looks too neat and deliberate

No opinion on the specific signature, but the fact the ole 'friend of a friend' got it in person throws up a big red flag...unless you could talk to that friend of a friend and see if he seems legit.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
