Diego Maradona autograph real?

Hi all,

Here's is the Signed Diego Maradona Jersey I just bought. I have an appointment with Beckett to get this reviewed on the 7th. What do you guys think real or fake? From my research it seems to be consistent with signatures from the private signings where he sat down in a session and banged out hundreds of autographs on these jerseys.

I'm an obsessed fan so I'm desperate to get a piece of history. I paid $1,000 but can return if it turns out to be a fake but I'd really rather keep this.

Thanks

It looks legit right? I'm really looking forward to the Beckett trade show on the 7th. I hope they certify it.

No story really, Maradona passed recently so everyone is selling his memorabilia. He said he purchased it 5 years ago and was holding on to it. Money was tight so he sold it. Issue is eBay then cancelled his listing but wont tell me why, this happened last night after i already received the jersey.

I'm not experienced with this, forgive my ignorance. I was under the impression Beckett would be able to analyze the signature and advise whether or not they believe it to be authentic. If that doesn't go well I'm going to go through with the return.

I was able to look up the seller using the postage, it brought me to his Facebook page where he posted the jersey with his condolences on the day of Diego's death. That has me thinking this isn't a scam where he just signed a shirt after Diego's death and is selling to capitalize.

Do you think Beckett is a waste of time and money? If so ill just send it back bc its a lot of money to take a chance on.

when you don't trust it i would return it because that feeling will never go away even when beckett says it's all good. spending 1000 dollar with no proof is way to much in my opinion but i know the feeling when you want something than your mind stops and you start to gamble. for me the autograph looks good but a good forgery looks good to.

Yea i know, its annoying. It's like I'm 99.99% sure its real.. it looks like it was signed with this batch of certified shirts. It's exactly what I want... Looks at them side by side, mine is on the left.
