Not the normal formation of letters, the m and s in James mostly. But it has alot of good points. Inscribed to a male fan (much more common than ones made out to girls). Good flow.
Not for me. Look at 1954 checks and so on. The slants appear backwards here ("To","J", etc.), the formations hesitant ("D") or incorrect IMHO. Does it not appear that whoever signed the Moore signed the Dean? The Dean lacks the overall flavor typical of his signature.
