The Doors and Jim Morrison autographs--would appreciate opinions on authenticity

I respect a lot of what I've read on this site. So much so that I'd love your opinions on this Morrison/Doors supposed authentic auto.

American rock band The Doors, 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" inches, 1970, Hand signed by American rock band The Doors, Set of hand signed autographs, signed by all original members of American band "The Doors". These signatures are like gold dust nowadays. To find a set like these is next to impossible. These were signed in England in 1970. Signed on paper. The paper is showing signs of age, with some foxing, and one signature is on the back with three on the front. Still a very rare set to get your hands on. The foxing looks worse in my photographs than when you have it in your hand. All the autographs are still very clear. The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore. size 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" inches

Many thanks,

Chris

Here is the signature in question. Yes, the N in Nancy is odd.However, I see the "ancy" portion of the above dedication to look very much similar in the way Jim signed the below dedication.

Ok. I see now, it's Randy. The writing is hard to see in the image. In my opinion the inscription is very typical in the way Jim writes. The signature itself is very sloppy and at first glance I was skeptical, especially with the unusual RR portion, but in my opinion this is authentic.

The notion of that excites me greatly. Would love to hear from others as well if time permits. I might just be a bidder. JackGotLucky, would you bid on this item if it were you?

The only reason I wouldn't want it is because it's a sloppy and somewhat unusual example, not because I question it's authenticity. I would opt to wait for a much nicer and cleaner signature as I did when I purchased my two checks that I own which are almost "perfect" sigs. But that's just me. If you can get it for somewhere around $4k or so, give or take, I think it would be a good buy. With that said, you may have to pay much more as the last few Jim sigs that sold recently have gone for way over current market value. Good luck...

I appreciate your thoughts. I could kick myself for not purchasing checks back in 1998 when I had the chance........and the price was south of $1K. Makes me sad.

I was hoping to purchase it. I didn't provide a lot of detail because, while I respect the opinions of many members here, I didn't want potential competition with someone else buying it due to the attention I drew to it.

I also like the photo signed "To Randy." It looks authentic to me despite the slightly unusual RR portion. It's also one of the sloppier examples that I've seen.
