Bumping this one up one last time. Sent to Beckett Quick opinion and was deemed likely not authentic. However, I trust the opinions of those on this site much more, so I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm sorry Greg. This auto looks fine to me. It's just  my opinion of course. Unless I have it in my hand to really give it a honest evaluation. Sometimes you can't put too much emphasis or stock into a quick opinion. I don't see anything that stands out that would make it fake. Don't take my word for it. There's definite fluidity to the autograph. It's not slowly drawn. Listen, I could be wrong. I am quite often. Lol. Compare it to this authentic one that I own.

Here's an even a better comparison.

Thanks John. Really appreciate it! I agree that it doesn't look like a fake to me either. But, who knows I'm still very much a novice at this :)

You're quite welcome. Some great advice I received on here. Study the authentic ones, not the forgeries, because, if you have the authentic ones burnt into your mind, anything else will not suffice.

Makes a lot of sense!

I will say this having got Koufax in person before.  If this was a sit down signature at a show, which he very rarely does, then I would say it is fake.  He takes his time and his signature is very consistent.  If this was signed at spring training, then I would say likely authentic.
