No from me. Not even shortly before his death his signature was that shaky.

I believe it's authentic. Rushed, in person signature. Maybe John was in an awkward position or had a few too many.... IMHO.

Sorry to say, no from me as well, for what it's worth. It looks like an attempt at doing Wayne's later in life signing style that went wrong for the person who was drawing it.

I think you all are being a little too rough on poor John's signature. It's definitely not his best handwriting. With that said, I believe there are too many signing traits that match his general style to ignore. It's not a fake, IMO. It's definitely not a secretarial, IMO. I'll stand that the Duke signed this. Would a TPA pass it, who knows. They tend to like the easier, cookie cutter signatures.
