Elton John experts please

I sold this on eBay and have been told that JSA have said not authentic. Have they got it wrong?

Contact Richard Booth here. He is really sharp with Elton's signature.

I'm almost certain it's authentic. I was just asking to prove a point that JSA got it wrong again.

Here is mine. Mid 80's signature.

That's also authentic. JSA should choose another hobby as autograph authentication is beyond them. it's quite apparent to me, the same person signed both of these examples. JSA would have difficulty as they just match them against their samples. To me, that's not authentication, that's painting by numbers. As you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of TPAs

I like this one, it has a more natural flow

I don't like it, it just looks a little off to me

Here's another. All by the same hand. IMO all are authentic.

Nice example. Parts of the OP look good but it just looks a little forced and the last part looks unlike his normal signature to me

Thanks for you opinion.

I agree, parts of the Elton look similar to Elton’s in person signatures, but the John looks a little odd to me too. Joe’s example is an authentic 80’s signature, but the other three examples concern me. I have seen that style before and I would pass on them.

Many thanks for your input; however, I believe it's authentic.

Specifically, what didn't you like about the John. His autograph did vary considerably.
