Do you know when it was signed?  I think the only authentic one I recall seeing is the one my grandpa got in 1958.  I haven't seen it in a while, but I want to say this looks different.  I could be wrong.

I'd really like to have scan of grandpa's Marciano, but I don't think visiting grandma just to swipe the thing to scan it would be nice :)  

There are certainly some boxing experts on the forum who might have more insight.  If I get another look at it anytime soon (or even a scan), I'll let you know.

It looks a little off to me and written slowly. Personally I would pass.

I got Rocky on a piece of paper in 1968.  This one is too neat.

I think Rocky's signature my have been a bit neater earlier on, but it does seem almost a bit too neat.

From what I recall, I think grandpa's looks a bit closer to Steve's actually, and his was signed in just about the most ideal circumstances (in his living room!).

I think all of us have pretty different interests.  On this forum in particular, the ones I see the most interest in are vintage/classic rock music (especially The Beatles) and vintage baseball (especially the Yankees).  There are experts in all fields here.  

I'm a more pedestrian music/sports collector - you won't see me breaking the bank for the Beatles, Elvis, Jimi, the Doors largely because I'm not a big enough fan.  I'm more interested in modern music and, fortunately, most of my favorite acts are still alive and active (U2, Springsteen, AC/DC, Garbage, Florence + the Machine, etc).
