Actually, I have found a DiMaggio signed photo with a comparable flow. Any reason not to assume this is legit?

The oddest detail about this DiMag signature is the "D". His "D"s are typically the focal point, the "feature" of his signature. I don't recall ever seeing a "D" this tiny and below the level of the baseline.

i agree, woody. I was stressing over the "D". I have never seen it so much smaller than the "M" and also such spacing as it transitioned. After reviewing other authentic examples from the same time frame, I acknowledged that the spacing was acceptable. However, I share those concerns in the size of the "D"

I am guessing it is not fake though...clubhouse, perhaps, as terrior suggests.

The "D" is so odd that other elements that are also off seem trivial by comparison to a "D" that I'd have to call "unique" based on what I've seen. But there are other idiosyncrasies as well that get lost in that "D" sauce that commands all the attention. I tend to agree with Terrier, whose appraisal is usually logical and spot on. Clubhouse, in all probability; and not Joe D.

Thanks Bud. I will steer clear of this one!
