"Great question and observation. I don't think the presence or absence of the "I" is a dealbreaker either way. There's rarely one factor that deems a signature good or bad -- it all really depends on a composite analysis. I have…"

Joe Dimaggio

Question about Joe Dimaggio.  His later autographs  in the 80s and 90s do not have the first letter I in DiMaggio.  Usually.   But as the photo exemplar shows, PSA has authenticated some as real.  Dimaggio included the I in early contract signatures.

"Thanks for the reply.   You proved my point: dont expect all real signatures to be perfect.   Dimaggio signed a lot of stuff, and was known to come to old timers events every year.  Not a nice guy?  Im sure generous…"

"Joe Dimaggio usually had a clean ledgible full signature.   However I bought an old timers day ball with a Sloppy Dimaggio signature but its certified by JSA.   I dont know what a fake dimaggio looks like.  But basic rule is…"
