Its difficult to see properly as the images are too small and low resolution. Might be worth trying to get some better quality pics for us to look at. 

From what I can make out though, I would not purchase any of these myself.

Like I said- the pictures are too small to have a clear/detailed look.

In my opinion, the full signature looks ok, but there are some elements that could be consistent with a secretarial- at this low resolution it is too difficult to make a proper assessment and so for that reason I would not purchase it myself until I could properly inspect it.

The shorter version of his signature signed in the bottom right of the image is fairly consistent with what his premiere autograph looks like, but again- the image is too small to be confident.

I would ask these sellers for clear/more detailed images and then repost here so we can have a better look. I've generally heard good things about both sellers you mention so Im sure theyd be happy to oblige.

And another thing, which is "secretarial" is a type of signature?

A secretarial is an autograph signed by the secretary/assistant of the actor on their behalf. Schwarzenegger would have his assistants sign all autograph requests that came through the mail for him (and even some official documents and trading cards) to save him time. The Arnie secretarials are notorious as they look very realistic at first and I would say that the vast majority of Arnie autographs out there are actually secretarials. A lot of dealers don't even realise it. If you have a clear image then its easy to tell if youre familiar with his signature but if youre not familiar, then its easy to get fooled.

Is this Arnold authentic?  It’s authenticated by JSA.  And it’s on eBay for $350 Or Best Offer.

I’m not an expert on Schwarzenegger autographs, but both TQ and JSA think it’s good.  In case you don’t know, Juan, JSA is one of the “Big 3” authentication companies along with PSA/DNA and BAS (Beckett).  They are not always right, but their COAs are accepted by major auction houses as legitimate authentication.   

Maybe others will give an opinion as well.

But you are probably safer with them than with the ones you showed us above.  It’s a nice picture too.
