Rare Josh Gibson Cut Signature Help...Real?

[Kabryman]

I just recently came across this cut signature autograph of Josh Gibson.....Looks pretty good from the few exemplars that I have seen but cannot be sure. Thought I would bring it here to get opinions before taking it to JSA at the national. Any help and educated opinions would be greatly appreciated....Thanks...Bryan

Looks horrible. Have seen similar bass ones coming up like these, including a Mule Suttles recently.

Do you have one to compare or just opining? Horrible on the basis of what? Just curious, not being wise.....

Understood, for starters-you need be leery of any "cut" signature like that. Second, just compare yours to the one Michael recently purchased. Look at the "J", yours appears slowly drawn, the top of the J is not smooth like the one Michael posted-there is some hesitation, especially as the signature is towards the top right. As you know, Josh passed very (too) young, so there should be no hesitation at all.

Just my 2 cents, you are welcome to submit to a TPA.
