Barry Sanders on-ball auto

Hello, and thanks for adding me to the community. I recently won a small auction of autographed memorabilia including a ball signed by Barry Sanders, allegedly. It has a COA from a company called Sig Auctions in Arizona. I have scoured the internet for variations of Sanders' autograph, and have decided to ask for some opinions on both this example as well as the auction house if anyone has any input. To me, it lacks the right-sweeping tail on the B, the first S seems less "figure 8-ish" than other examples, and the tail of the last letter S extends all the way under his name. It has resemblance to some of his more formal signings on documents, but I'm feeling uncertain. Looking forward to your feedback! Thanks!

I agree with you - doesn't look right.

I looked at dozens of examples today searching for variations. The closest things I found are below. Agreed that the above pic is certainly typical. Any tips for image searching variations (sites, terms, etc.)?
