IMO Likely not, Some letters appear too neatly written while other letters appear not natural or fluid. I don't like the J, and also look at the non fluid flow between the I and o. I am pretty much a beginner at studying his graph, however it just doesn't look correct to my Authentic samples. Any tips and comments would be Appreciated. Thanks

Joe D is tough Ray, you just have to look at authentic exemplars often. One of the main things I look for in a Joe D (other than basic letter formation) is the "fury" in which he tears through his "agg" in Dimaggio, there is 0 hesitation, it is fluid and very fast.. Hard to explain, but when you see enough you can just tell. He really flew through that part of his sig, and in most forgeries it's easy to tell that they are being more "careful" when signing it.

Great observations Ryan.  The first things I look at with DiMaggio are the "g's" and then if they stack up well, the M and rest of the signature.  Forgers mess up the last name all the time.
