I believe they are both authentic.

The autographs are authentic. Some of the plates had facsimile signatures, but yours is one of the few that were hand-signed.

Thanks to both of you. I know the signatures aren't facsimiles. I was wondering moreso if either was (in your collective opinions) forged.

 

The reason I'm asking is I've found Gartlan plates where the back says "personally signed & approved by" which weren't signed by the player. It got me worried that maybe the signatures were post-production.

These are both real , very familiar with this piece . Been collecting vintage hockey autographs for over 25 years and have an extensive collection of Howe / Gretzky items.
