This one is not close - it's obviously fake (and I say this a little hesitantly, because some of my friends think it looks close to real and I honestly don't want to insult people here).
I've said the same thing about id'ing photos - very few in the hobby will actually use their eyeballs to identify anything. They will look at almost everything else first, starting with COA's and LOA's. It's baffling to me. It's sad that the guy purchased it to begin with, but not because he didn't come here first and ask questions. It's much simpler than that: google 'Cy Young signature', images, and see what comes up. It won't take long to realize this is a fake. It's not like this is a Mel Ott.
