Avoid.

It has the general shape of a Reese but that blue marker is terrible. I can't gauge the speed of the writing because the letters look blurred together and there is no variation in line thickness. It could have been signed slowly and there would be no way to tell for sure with that pen.

I recommend you find a nice signature penned with a thin ballpoint pen or fountain pen.

Thanks Manny, and everyone that took the time to answer. Yeah, normally I would have just passed immediately on this one due to the R and what Manny said about the thick sharpie (a problem I've seen on more than a couple Reeses) and the fact I have plenty of other in-person Reese sigs in my collection, but this one just happened to be on a magazine I needed. Would have really liked to have added it, but like anything else, another one will probably come down the road in the future.
