Hello, could I get another opinion on this one, please? There seems not to be a consensus. I hate to spend the money for JSA and then tell me it's not real. So far, I had one person say it is and two that it probably is not. Another person who looked at it in person said it definitely is a blue ballpoint. Elvis preferred those. It is a real vintage studio shot by Mel. But he could not say if it was Elvis. Thoughts please. I know this is not an exact science. But I really appreciate your opinions.

It's extremely atypical if it's real, which I doubt. But the image you posted in too low quality. Get a higher resolution one that has not been saved as a low-quality JPEG.

I don’t think it is real in my opinion. I have a number of Elvis signatures and it doesn’t have the same style. 

I don't think it is real too. Very atypical in my opinion. 

Same here.

This one is dated 59 and has very few points that are similar to me. But the next one is a print from a scarf and there are several points that are similar? I know why people have a hard time verifying these

Particularly look at the Y in the known 59 version how it trails then over to the left and ends. The very same on my version. It's an odd Y. The RESLE on the scarf is very close to my version. Am I wrong? I did overlays and they are pretty close.  But I am just a desktop sleuth. 

"Am I wrong?"

IMO, yes I am sorry to say. I don't see this as having a chance, blue ballpoint or other. The dedication alone is problematic - the "T" in "To" and the "S" in "Sincerely." I don't see any reason to think this is authentic.

… and the "E" in Elvis is also problematic.
