Is this Robert Shaw real? (No jsa, PSA, or Beckett, just "coa")

Hi,

I'm hoping you can help me decide on this Robert Shaw? Seems too lightly priced, so skeptical.

Thank you.

I do not have much experience with his signature.. dont take my word for it but I do not like the angle in a few places. That stands out to me as a red flag

Thanks Jason. Appreciate your view. I will see if there are any stronger opinions out here, but I saw some stuff I liked about it ( the R and b), but there was other stuff where I wasn't certain. However, his stuff is so rare that I can't be sure!

Much thanks Jason

No problem, I admit, I need way more research on this myself. I found this old thread. It might help

Wow. Great information here. Still not sure I'm wise enough in this field to apply it! Like these ones in the threads have a cleaner second name....like he signs it "Slaw" but in the one I sent the "h" in Shaw is more like an uppercase L.

Very intriguing. Will take more of a look at these articles and also may get a Beckett opinion too. I trust the AutooMagazine guys.... They landed me a successful Marty Feldman!

Thanks Jason. You've been awesome!

To close the loop here, the Beckett quick review came back as Unlikely To Pass.

Appreciated your notes here!

Authenticators are never a 100% guarantee but in this case from the limited known good examples ive seen, I agree. I still do not like the angle of the signature in certain parts and, like you said, Shaw just doesn't look right. Theres a few other aspects i find questionable as well but would need more research. If you are moving on, there's no need but maybe others will come along to comment at some point still.

Thanks Jason. Agree on all of this. Ever since reading some of the discussions in here, I know even the authenticators are not 100%, and then extra hill to climb if not authenticated.

Thank You!
