Marilyn Monroe signed flamingo hotel menu Las Vegas real ? fake ?

Does anybody think this Marilyn signature looks real?
The menus from the mid 1950's
It's certified by GFA and AAU
it's being sold by antiquities of California for
850.00 sounds like a good price but i am hesitant.

I know throughout her career
Her signature changed from
Nice to sometimes sloppy
And that the majority of her signatures
Weren't always consistent.

Hopefully someone else will chime in. All I've done is offer my humble opinion.

That is authenticated by GFA and being sold by Antiquities of California?

A search with the engine here for those two entities might be useful.

Yes to both
It's not on antiquities website since it's brand new.
I was told about it by email and was sent photos
And was told it's certified by AAU and GFA
I am along time customer of antiquities of California

You are a longtime customer? You have read the threads here and elsewhere?

If you have researched those entities and read what there is to read here and oh, anywhere, about those three, and still remain a loyal customer, all I can say is "I'm sorry".

See that's the thing anything anyone reads about any of the stated certifications or not stated have both positive and negative reviews
It's hard to trust anyone
Who do I trust?
I was just wanting info on the piece itself not the
Certifiers Or seller
Fake or real ?
