Shameless bump but I really encourage some input on this signature. Appreciate you all...

Is this possibly a print of some sort ?  The writing is a little goofy where it looks bumpy when enlarged.  One might think ok, maybe the picture is bumpy, but look at her arm, it's bumpy as well?

I do not know her autograph, so that part I can't help on.

That is the texture of the photo. It is a double weight vintage picture of the era and it could possibly be considered a print due to the finishing process. Although I certainly don't feel the signature is printed. Not inscribed as it is.

Well the issue I had looking at it is that only portions of the photo show that?  The hat outline is fine, as is part of the writing?

I do not see any issues when I am viewing it in person. Could be the scan itself? Here is a scan of the entire photo. Maybe that will help

I think it was the first photo itself (the scan).   Because this looks so much better.   Now hopefully someone knows the autograph.  lol  

If I had seen any other sig with that same issue I would have questioned it the same, as it looked like it might have been some sort of print that got messed up.

Thanks so much. Now if I could just get a second opinion of the autograph. I believe it's real but want to be sure. Baffled why PSA/DNA questioned this, what they saw was a slightly larger version of the picture #2 you liked.

I wouldn't worry about this autograph. It is authentic in my opinion. Disregard the quick opinion. It's too conservative with its likely authentic designation to be very helpful.
