Leonard Nimoy 5x7 photo with signature - opinions?

Leonard Nimoy 5x7 photo (1970s?) with what appears to be a hand-signed autograph in blue ballpoint pen (there's a pen impression on the back of the paper). There appears to be odd spacing between letters and a uniformity of pressure that make it look a little unnatural. Perhaps that odd appearance reflects the difficulty of writing with a ballpoint pen on a glossy print.

Photos attached. Click to zoom. (Ignore the watermark -- I added it to discourage copying.)

Opinions?

Thanks!

As soon as I saw "5"x7"" I knew -which it was - that is his facsimile in use since 1968 until ST:2 at least.

Thank you! I suspected as much but couldn't find any examples online. When I add "5x7" to my search, now I see a couple examples of the facsimile. I've updated my auction accordingly.

I have more than one in person. And have seen many others. I will add the one I have. All others on this piece are in person as well, FWIW. But those do not look like a typical Nimoy IMHO. I hesitate to cast any authoritative opinion, but have at least a couple other known good ones. Leonard's is next to his head.
