If the photo posted is vertical, I'd say no. If not, I'd say it's a close call, but likely still a "no."

I usually don't weigh in on signature opinions, but this one just seems off in several little ways.

Yeah, my inclination is "good effort, but no cigar!"

Looks like the one on eBay now that was "found in an attic while clearing out a house."

I would be wary.

It is being sold by an auction in the UK. Some guy has collected hundreds of autographs over the years and is selling off his collection. There will be fakes in between the genuine ones no doubt.

All times are CT (US)
