I'm wondering the opinion on the autograph in eBay closed item 141889537102. While I wasn't the winner, I was a bidder on this item. I was hesitant to bid, knowing that his autograph can be tough to authenticate and he has varied it a lot over the years, but I figured it was worth a shot. Now that the bidding is complete, I just want the opinion of others with more knowledge than I have as to whether this was a legitimate signature. Thanks!

Looks like an absolutely authentic signature to me.

Shucks. That was my thought as well, and I had a (hopefully) winning bid ready to go at the last second and just didn't get it in quite in time. Oh well. Just have to keep my eyes open and be ready next time.

Better to NOT pull the trigger if you're at all unsure about an autograph; another will come along soon enough.

Oh, I realize that another will come around soon enough. The problem is finding an Anders in my price range, as this one was. But, as you said, better to be safe than sorry.

Looks good in my opinion. Nice early signature. I'd imagine the same signature on a postal cover or photograph would have gone for much more.
