Here is a link to a signature study at R&R Auction by Bill White. The legibility alone is a problem. While no one is going to authenticate anything from reading one paper, you will hopefully see some differences in the presentation of 1950's signatures and what is in your program.

I came to this site because it looked very reputable and I had hoped to get some experienced feedback from everyone . But all I'm getting here is negative all while knowing 100% they all autographed at the dinner in front of Dottie Birdsong . Joe Dimaggio signed first then Marilyn . I still haven't heard anyone comment on Joe signing an autograph after someone wrote a note saying they didn't like the Yankees .

It is reputable. You can not know 100% those were signed as related to you later by Mrs. Birdsong. You can only know what she told you. But what you can see for yourself is the differences in MM's hand in the linked signature study and your program signature. I am sorry you are not hearing what you want. If all were autographed "in front" of, why the need for the note?

And is anyone thinking about how many drinks she probably had at the dinner that night ?

So you suggest alcohol in quantity made MM's handwriting unusually legible, atypically neat and different - with that conscious pen lift by the paraph?

Ok we will tell you what you want to hear. Great item with incredible provenance! That story alone should allow you command a premium even though the mm signature looks nothing like an authentic version. Good luck!

The Joe DiMaggio is definitely authentic, but how is anyone suppose to know if "DiMaggio signed after someone else wrote they don't like the Yankees?"
How many times do you think that occurred in Mr. DiMaggio's life?
No one would know that.
As for the Monroe, I concur with everyone else.

Trent, you believe what you want, that's fine.
You came here looking for opinions, and you got them.

Only person that buys that as an authentic Monroe is a sucker. Good luck selling it.

Eva is great - I think I meant to say Pauline Berry. Trent, if you want some further information on the "Monroe" post a message on Pauline's wall or page and ask her to look at this program. You can find her in the "Members" link in the blue bar atop this page.
