The OP signature looks as if it were signed with no more conviction than part of the address on the envelope. I see this as very important.

Biff - Thanks for that info..  My hunch was right....you know your man Frank!

Here's one from my collection archives.  It's very early and adorned my wall for years.  It's passed through other hands since.

Great, thanks! Wow, that early FS signed Kriegsman must have been worth a lot!

Nice. The Capt. Buzzio FS signed from '62 is a great example. Funny, the PSA looks weird to me. Maybe he signed it to a fan quickly. Although, he signed many dozens of autographs to my mom in the late 40s & he always took his time. If it wasn't certified & slabbed, I wouldn't have trusted it. The "F" & the connection between k & S also looks odd. Maybe someone bumped him while writing the F. I really appreciate being able to share posts & ideas here. Thanks!

Hi Biff,

I posted that and the one before it to show how he got to the exemplars in the study I posted earlier.

The PSA encapsulated one looks like a forgery to me.  Just plain bad.

Can I get your thoughts on these 2 Franks ?
