Marlon Brando very atypical if not flat out Fake !!

ebay seller claims it's real of course and also went on to say that nobody has messaged him about it's questionable authenticity.

Anyone ever see a Brando hand like this?

No. Haven't seen this variation, right from the first letter of the first word, "To". Brando did personalize, usually a name, and the letter 'T' was the type of script, small 't' that usually ends a word: downstroke, back up, then slightly to the left of the downstroke, a loop, then a cross of the initial downstroke. The shape triangular in nature. Never saw a personalization with a capital "T" like this at the start.

yes it's an odd one I wouldn't give it a second thought, but in talking with the seller about it, he believes it's authentic from 1980 or more recent. He says he buys from a reputable dealer and has been an ebay member since 1998 and mostly deals in antiquities, not autographs.

If it's fake, I do believe the seller doesn't know it. I wonder if this is some bizzare version of being Legit. Or maybe just too bizarre and atypical to warrant further research?

I've come to learn that if it's too far outside the box, then best be left alone. But this one has me curious.
