Jackie gleason autograph?

How does this Jackie Gleason appear to you?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Jackie-Gleason-Signed-Auto-PSA-DNA-5x7-Photo-/1...

 

I noticed that at some point in his life he apparently started dotting the "e" in his first name rather than the "i"

 

I really need help with this one!

Authentic Gleason's are very rare..

The one above is secretarial..

I have 2 in-persons in my library that I aquired myself,

plus a pre-printed Signature on a post-card that was sent to

people who sent for tickets to see his TV Show in Miami Beach

All do not match the above secretarial.

Joyce Randolph and Audrey Meadows both said many times that Jackie didn't like to sign autographs.  Still those 2 ladies always signed the group photo through the mail.

Rolf, with the signature below you might want to revisit some of the claims on this article.  I always cringe when I hear "a friend", "I heard" as while it may be true it is also part and parcel to "3rd party heresay".

Greg here is his actual signature as he signs in as a "mystery" guest on what's my line from that era.  Ya can't get any more authentic than this but then again - they are on their best penmanship.

I recently acquired a cast signed Honeymooners photo and was having second thoughts on the authenticity.  The Gleason looks good, but was hoping for some opinions.  My bigger concern is the Audrey Meadows.  She has a certain way of making her letter E and is very consistent in every signature I have seen.  In the signature I have, she uses the same E twice, but makes a regular e in her first name.  I have never seen her use a regular e.  What do you think about the Gleason and the Meadows?

Greg- You are right. Turns out Gleason was MUCH rarer than anyone thought!
