I really do Not think it's authentic. I've seen that type of signature before but couldn't place it. I did some looking and these forgeries we're usually accompanied by a J. DiMaggio COA. I've yet to see an authentic one. I recently found a similar autographed bat online. Look at the comparison. Pretty close.

I would say those two are from the same hand.

nice find John, definitely signed in the same hand.  I doubt these are authentic.

I don’t think it is good either.  The o in Joe has been confused by forgers as trying to look like an a.  They over accentuate it and make it look like an intentional a.

I’m not a fan, but it does seem a little “better” than most of the obvious fakes we typically see. 

The gg formation almost looks like a sunken SS... not a good sign.
