Best regards to all.

I apologize of this is a newbie question, but is there a policy that prohibits posting of direct links to eBay auctions? It seems the practice is to post item numbers in the thread title.

Why make someone go through three or four steps instead of a direct link?

There's no policy against linking. Members are welcome to include a link or web address in their posts.

For eBay, it's very simple if you have the item number. All you need to type into your browser is:

ebay.com/itm/[Item No.]

So for this particular auction, it is simply: ebay.com/itm/200805885343

Thanks for the clarification, Robert. I don't mean to pick on the OP because many people seem to do it, but it just seems odd to ask a favor of people then make it more difficult than it has to be.

To answer the question, I started and ended with Anders. In my opinion, the Anders is an example I would avoid. In my opinion, there are some formation issues and the signature overall has a weak and tentative appearance.

The Lovell and Borman signatures look fine to me. As for the Anders, I'll leave that up to the real experts, at first glance it looks OK but maybe a more trained eye is needed.

It looks sort of like it was traced over another signature.
