Are these autographs authentic?

I purchased a lot in an auction recently that contained several autographed cards. Most of the autographs had a COA with them but of those there were 5 that did not. Can anyone please give me their opinion on their authenticity? I want to send the cards to PSA to authenticate but hate the thought of them not being real and having to pay all that money for naught. At this point they are only taking up space as I want to maximize my profit from this investment so I haven't tried to sale and as I said do not want to lose more money on a fake autograph if sent in for authentication. I appreciate your time and assistance. Thank you

My opinion is all 3 are forgeries.

Thank you for taking the time to look them over. That is my gut feeling too but thought I'd have more professional eyes look at them before deciding what to do with them. So I guess my 10 year old boy will be happy to get 3 "autographed" items. Besides no COA, for future reference can you tell me what was it about them that looked fake?

The Ripken and Barkley they just don’t look right. The attempt is there. But that is the point for them to look similar. I’ve gotten both of them numerous times. Barkley more often. Just by looking at them they look like forgeries.

I’ve never gotten Kobe but have seem a few. Just looks way to sloppy.
