I have two 16x20's signed by Dr. J, one from UDA and the other from Steiner.  I'll take a look this afternoon.

Steve-  Looks VERY similar to what I have seen from Steiner Sports.

Here is one from UDA.  Signature is a little different in a few areas.

Thanks, Steve. How do you think it compares to the one I'm asking about?

The Julius looks different, but could be because he rushed or was tired if signing several.  The Dr J looks different than all those shown here, the J is definitely opposite as it looks like a capital L and different than all those shown here plus there is no r as there is in the others.  The Erving looks a little off also, mostly the letters after the E.

Thanks, Steve. The bottom loops of the J's and the g are flat on the one I'm questioning, too. But on the other 5  they're oval/triangular or vertical. And mine is the only one missing the top loop of the first J.

I just came upon this link and I'd like to share this one I got in person back in the early 80's at the Sahara Hotel in Vegas.

We used to go there every month to play poker, 7-stud back then. Pugsy Pearson, Amarillo Slim & Doyle Brunson were no match for a 21 year old baby face in a Stetson. Beat them like red headed step children! But, that's for another day.

I was walking in the back way with a buddy of mine due to construction that was going on. This familar looking guy asked us if we knew where the Casino was? We said that we would show him and to follow us. We take the escalator and I look at my friend funny and we realize it's Dr. J. We follow him to the black Jack Table and he sits in on a $100 table by himself & is playing 2 hands. I take a couple hundred out and sit in for a hand and ask him to sign the other $100.00 for me. Of course I lose. 100 back then was A LOT! He refuses and tells me it's illegal.

My friend pulls his business card out and I ask him to sign this for me instead. I carried it in my wallet for a while and it wrinkled up nicely. I put it in a box with a bunch of old ticket stubs and it's been with me since.

I tried to sell it on e-bay for 9.99 and it didn't sell. (LOL)  I don't need the money, I was just clearing out some junk and thought a Dr. J fan would want this more than me? Apparently not. I think it's a great momento and I'm going to just keep it with my story and memory.
