I believe this signature is real, but there are more legible examples available.

Thanks again, Robert. It is a scribble indeed. Do you the know the seller?

Hello jeff, I don't know who the seller is. With every signature, I approach it with an open mind based on the signature itself. I'm not influenced by who the seller is or wether it's certified. I do like to look at the source after.

Hello jeff,
I took a quick look at the seller of this Liam. He's a long time ebayer, positive feedback, a lot of sports and looks like most of it is certified. I don't see any red flags. I would look at more of the nonsports items being offered to make sure they pan out.

Hey Robert,
Yeah I also think its better to consider an autograph on its own merits first. I am also looking at a Michael Cimino item from this seller, but Cimino is so rare that no one seems familiar with his signatute, so no one seems able to help. The lack of known authentic examples also makes it difficult for me study his signature. The piece is JSA-authenticated and *looks* good to me, but I can't drop that kind of money if I'm not 100% sure.

Jeff, Cimino isn't an easy one- I agree. Even though the one in question has a sticker, I would feel much more comfortable authenticating one with help from an inscription. Just my opinion.

Indeed. I will most likely keep looking for a while... thanks again for your help, Robert!
