Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen photo opinion

Hey Everyone,

I was hoping I could get your opinions on the attached photo I've been looking at it a lot and I'm pretty 50/50 on it. The Paul and KG look pretty good, but the Ray less so. All three look like they were done quite sloppy / quick, but that doesn't mean much. The owner claims he bought it from a sports store in Boston a few years back and it didn't have a COA. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Some reference autographs from around the time this would have been signed. Paul and KG both have a quicker and longer signature it seems and they both used the quick on this. Ray's is kinda hard for me to get a good feeling for being an amateur.

Yeah Kevin's signatures are really interesting where he has changed them a lot at different points of his career. These are earlier ones for sure when he wrote it out, but he now does it as more of an initials style probably, so he can sign things more quickly. Do you have any thoughts on this photo above? Thank you for the references.

Definitely earlier signatures. I also have a huge piece of floor he signed for me his first trip to Phoenix during his rookie year, added “Stay Cool” under his name. Signature was very different and very consistent.
