Eddie Mathews Help

I'm not super familiar with his signature so I was hoping to get some feedback on the following Eddie Mathews signatures.

Also any tips about telltale characteristics to avoid / look for would be much appreciated.

While there are forgeries in the market for Eddie Mathews, the majority are found on 500 Club HR Balls with forged Mantles and Williams. Eddie was a generous signer, and was active in the show circuit until he fell ill. I've observed that as Eddie aged, his spacing between letters changed. His earlier examples were a bit tighter between the letters. There are some neat examples with his full name of Edwin which show a nice penmanship.
