A little "buy n sell" story

I posted 3 Buddy Rich signatures here for some inputs which all appear to be Legit or pretty good forgeries. I made a bid on the nicest sig and was accepted for 35GBP which is perfect. But right after I accepted and paid, I started getting that gut feeling that maybe this one is not Legit. So I emailed the seller saying that I'll have it sent to Roger Epperson because I want his LOA and if he had any reservations about it failing to please let me know now and we'll cancel the deal. Here is his reply...

Hi,

With reference to your statement re the autograph of Buddy Rich, it is completely authentic so I do think it's best we cancel the transaction with no hard feelings either way. I will ensure you receive a full refund via paypal.

All the best

A very strange response to a so-called Legit item. Here is the sig.

It could be Legit? But now I'm more unsure.

I don't think I would touch this sig without having Roger look at it first. The more I stare at it, the more uneasy I get. Especially the "Rich".

But all this being said... the seller has NOT relisted it for sale Hmmm

BTW... I want to be clear. I am NOT the one who cancelled the transaction. The seller cancelled after I said I wanted it to be sent to Roger for an LOA.
