Roberto Clemente Signature "Bob"

Hate to burst the bubble in the room but in my opinion I see a rushed and squished Roberto and not the "Bob" everyone's talking about. Look at the first letter of the signature. It looks just like the facsimile R for Roberto's signature which leads me to believe it is an R and not a B.

But it very clearly cuts off after "b." So you think he signed it "Rob" Clemente? Very confusing.

Speaking of his facsimile sigs, what's going on with 1959?

I think what I said: that it�s just a rushed and squished version of Roberto. His last name comes right up the border of the card so maybe he just squished it in. I don�t know what else to think about the R in his facsimile signature, which is pretty distinct, looking like the first letter in his in person signature. I don�t see two different letters I see two R�s.

The one in our auction was very clearly Bob.
