I'm curious how the signature on this Frank Sinatra index card looks to members.

Agreed. I wondered if that was the Dean you started with.

And what did you think of the letter placement, overall component spacing and flavor/smoothness of the OP?  Close if not on, no?

It's close.  I'll give it that. 

There's just something quite off, imo.

Yes, the wide weirdness of the S" I think. That struck me first. Perhaps the inscription. That "or" transition. Now. knowing more, I would avoid this and anything from this collection.

I also am avoiding ANYTHING from this collection.  

However, that would not be a popular stance as it has been broken up and sold in pieces for big money in some cases:

You saw the Marilyn...

Yes, I saw it. 

And so did a huge segment of the autograph community and industry when it was sold as part of that archive.

I've never hear a peep of doubt from any dealer or any other collector.

I would be interested to hear Pauline's take on that signature. I'm not seeing it.

As I am sure you know, the popular stance and the the correct stance don't always align.Especially when money is involved it seems.

At this point, it would be like going against the Mob.   

I have acquaintances who have bought what they believed to be "grail" pieces from that collection as it has been parceled out.  I've never had the heart to say what I truly feel.

Here is my Frank Sinatra signed from 1960’s that I just picked up. This was signed for a waitress at the Stardust Casino.

Also signed by Yul Brynner and Juan Garcia Esquivel.

Thanks for showing.  That's very different than the OP!
