Bobby Clarke Flyers

I recently picked this Bobby Clarke jersey up at a garage and wanted to get opinions to see if it is real.
Thanks for your help

Hi Greg...

I feel confident in saying that this is not authentic....

The signature is wrong on a couple of levels...

The capital "B" in Bob is a little too bold...

The last "e" in Clarke has too long a tail...

But I think the clincher is the fact that this is signed on the orange of the jersey and not in the white on the number 16.

I have never...ever...seen a jersey signed by Bobby Clarke that is signed on the back in the orange...he always signed in the borders of the numeral "1"...or the numeral "6".

Of course Clarke, who I met some 40 years ago wore the number 16.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Don
I appreciate the feedback .unfortunately I do agree with all of your comments. I didn't realize how off it was until I got home and checked.
I took a chance for $20
