My thought on the Cobb is the look is OK, but the fading terrifies me as it removes all traces of pen pressure which of course helps hide the hesitation that you are already suspicious of.

not an auto guy, but I always think these queries are interesting. Based on the examples I would find, I think the Cobb is the only one with a good possibility to be real and it is unlikely you find one real one in a group of three with two being bad.

I have the same problem with the Cobb as stated above. Both the Altrock and Melillo, at first glance, look like it's worth studying further, but then you start to see some letter formation variances that are just not consistent with other exemplars. If I had to guess on those last two, I'd say they were non-malicious ghost signers/family members.

Ty Cobb died 7-17-61 and this set was released in 1961 ( which month ??). He probably didn't sign much in 1961.

I personally think the Melillo looks pretty good, or at least warrants much closer review. The "M" is slightly different than I'm used to, but there's a lot of positives.
