Wanted to say it as well but was not sure if I was allowed to on forum...LOL. Looks nothing close to exampliers I have seen on PSA site or past auctions.

I think " nothing close" is a bit of a stretch. I think it looks like a combination of the 1935 and the 1946 versions PSA shows here: http://www.psacard.com/AutographFact...mordecai-brown

I'm mostly concerned with the ord in Mordecai . That seems th e most fishy part to me

I do not care for it and even though Mordecai Brown is not a common autograph and you may have buyer's excitement at finding this autograph for your collection or to resell I would not buy it and I would patiently wait for a piece that I could be more comfortable with. If you buy it and find out later it is not good or you resell it and that buyer returns it for authenticity issues then how bad will your buyer's remorse be at that time .
Never let the enthusiasm of finding something you want blind your judgement.
Also if this signature has elements of signatures 11 years apart that is a red flag to avoid the item. You should look at signature examples in my opinion within 2-5 years unless age or health become factors ...11 years between your examples is too much time in my opinion to use as references. Especially since this signature has characteristics of those 11 year difference signatures!

Not good enough? What are you talking about? All I actually wanted was an intelligent discussion as to what people thought. Saying things like "are you serious" and "not even close" mean nothing. Explain why. Also I posted that I thought it was fishy I just didn't agree that it "wasnt even close".

Thanks I appreciate getting a thoughtful response on this. Regarding the two examplers, I had wondered if it was possible it was signed between that time. However the part I mentioned in Mordecai did seem fishy plus it seems to be a very deliberate signature.
