Johnny Cash autograph

I obtained this a while ago, and am starting to question its authenticity. I believe the 'J' is a bit odd, and overall I have some doubts with this signature. Luckily I won this auction at a fairly low price, so if it is not authentic its not a too expensive of a lesson. It is a signed page from a softcover edition of 'Man in Black'. I would appreciate if anyone could offer their opinion.

You are correct. There is something "weird" with the J.  The end of the Cash seems weird to me as well.  I am no expert.  I have a couple of John Cash items that I can compare it too.

Thank you for the help/opinion. The only 'explanation'  I can come up with is that this autograph was done on an inside page of a soft cover book. Perhaps this could explain the 'odd' appearance....or its a fake.  The page is dated, and this date corresponds to a concert Cash was performing in Florida at the time...I bought the book from a seller in FL. 

I am novice, but to me, this autograph is challenging because I think it has a combination of odd features(indicating a fake), and features that might suggest is it authentic. 

Thanks, 

Phil

I am not saying its not real by any means.  Just that it does not look like the 3 I have. Roger Epperson is very knowledgeable with Johnny Cash.  I would ask for his opinion.  He has his own website etc.. 

Hope that helps a little...
