Thanks for sharing, OCJack. Going through some PSA and other examples it appears this more formal signature 'style' has both been declared genuine but also sometimes not authentic... I think the PSA exemplars that are most similar seem to be signed bt 1940-60s (when this was supposedly signed) and done more patiently and cleanly, as seen on Player Uniform contracts and more personalized examples.
But I dunno... having spent some time reviewing the last several days, I'd feel comfortable sending to TPA (no plans to actually do this).
Lastly, it appears the above example was folded in half at some point... I'll assume this was due to sending through the mail, and that might lend some additional credence to a secretarial/familial signature, but pure speculation.
Additional opinions appreciated!
