AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.

Hi Lynn,

I've been saw your post and I've realized that nobody did comment. If anyone leave their reasons it could be a "help" for eventual forgers. Whatever, I would say it is not real because an important reason. I mean, the whole item looks real, but there're some details about the Thanks that I don't like. For example (among others), the T itself and its link with the H. As far as I know, Croce didn't usually write in that way.

So, IMHO I believe it is not real. I would be careful --or better, I'll avoid it.

Just my opinion.

All the best.

Thanks very much for that reply. I’ll admit it looks a little too perfect. Of course there is a good story behind it. I think my biggest concern is the hook at the top of the J. It’s also a larger scale than I’ve seen in the past. Almost a full 5x7. Thanks again.

Here’s an example from RR Auction for comparison.

The things that stick out to me are the KS portion appearing slowly drawn, the shape of the J, the connection to and shape of the M, and the shape of the O. I’d be surprised if it’s real.
