Jackie Robinson Auto Real or Fake
 

I came across a listing for a Jackie Robinson Auto and I can't tell if it is real. I was told this was the place to go. The thing that worries me is the "J" as it is usually more looping. Any help is very much appreciated

Welcome from Blowout, Dont have a clue, but there are some here that certainly do.

bad!
Here is what it should look like.

Look carefully at the surface of the postcard, the side that the autograph is on. Check for evidence that there might have been a pencil signature on it and been erased...are some spots lighter than others? Is there any indentation in the paper where a previous signature might have been. Is the postmark from Brooklyn?

The "k" in Jackie appears to be a dead giveaway, the signature doesn't have the confident flair you would see in a normal Jackie. As a collector, you shouldn't want to buy or own signatures with obvious flaws when nice ones exist.

I wouldn't buy it at any price.

It is a listing so I only can see pictures. The back side of it is postmarked July 13, 1950 and is addressed to the same guy who is selling it.

Maybe it's a Charlie DiGiovanna original!

Think of Simon & Garfunkel and you will know who signed it.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

if that is Mrs. Robinson's signature, then I don't know who signed the back of his 1956 payroll check from the Dodgers.

I am good friends with a man who has a huge collection of Jackie Robinson autographs and who is considered by me and other dealers to be the most knowledgeable in the country when it comes to Jackie's signature.
I showed him a copy of this payroll check because I wanted to be certain before stating anything further here.
"Definitely Rachel. 100%" was his reply.

Here is my Jackie

thanks Richard, that was always my assumption, but good to get experts' opinions.
