James Cagney signed photos - Real?

I'd appreciate opinions on these two James Cagney signed photos. Signatures look consistent and I'm assuming this might be 1970s signings. The one from EACH DAWN I DIE also has a (very light) George Raft signature. I'm especially interested in the one with him leaning on the swinging doors.

Thanks!

The bottom one is a very nice image. The signature appears correct at a glance. I'd avoid the other - such a light Raft is going to distract from the overall presentation. The single clean sig is best I think.

Cagney was a very willing TTM signer and both look authentic to me. I can’t imagine anybody forging George Raft’s signature, lol.

LOL. Very true. I can't imagine anyone forging Sonny Tufts's signature or Pat Paulsen's.

Thanks, guys. Here's another Cagney/Raft EACH DAWN I DIE. This time Cagney is lighter on the scan but actually more defined in person. This one I have no doubts about either.

p.s. I have a soft spot for George Raft. I had a since deceased elderly acquaintance who had dated Raft back in the 1940's (one of many lady friends he had).
