Shoeless Joe Jackson Auto- Fake?

[sportscardpete]

I did talk to Dan and he gave some really good insight into the details of the signature:

One other hang-up I have is if you look at the E in Joe’s signature when Katie would sign her signature of Joe, she wrote in cursive “Joe Jackson”. When Joe signed his name, he would sign JoE, and the “E” almost looks like a backward 3. If you look at this signature in the photo, it is an upper-case E, and written by someone that knows how to write. She didn’t do the upper-case E. It is my inkling that someone may have tried to pass it off as a real signature. Possibly someone did their research into how he signed vs. Katie.
