Janis Joplin signature- Did someone get Lucky?

This one sold on eBay yesterday, and, if the auto is real, the buyer is very lucky. It was hard to read the full signature, but the J's look legitimate. What do you all think?

While it is almost impossible to see the autograph fully due to the busy background, it does not look real to me.  There does not even seem to be a discernible letter "o" in her last name.  There are other letter formation issues as well.

Seller seems to be liquidating a collection. Here are a couple of his sales

Grateful Dead Photo (signed by artist) + Constanten auto

Those seem legit to me, but the Joplin, I agree, too hard to make a safe call

The signature is indeed difficult to see aside from the first name, which doesn't look correct to me.
