In my opinion it's not real.

Hi Steve.

Thanks for your opinion. Could you please explain the specific reason why this one is fake.？

It’s not Einstein’s natural, spontaneous writing in my opinion. Plus, it looks like it was signed yesterday.

You can get an online opinion from BAS or PSA/DNA for $15 or less, and those services are both good at Einstein. A genuine Einstein like that would easily be worth $2,000-$3,000.

I wouldn't rely on a quick opinion. In my experience they are only useful for obvious fakes. I wouldn't trust a quick opinion on something expensive IMO. This forum is so much better than a Beckett or PSA QO. 

ACOA is probably the best of the bunch.

ACOA is great but they don't do historical beyond Space.

The quick opinions will tell X Karl if it's worth pursuing further. Then he can go for full authentication as long as he has buyer protection, like PayPal.

If you need an opinion on an Historical autograph, this is the guy you need to ask https://www.manuscripts.co.uk/

His name is John Wilson. He has retired now, but he still shares his knowledge. Regarded as the best in the business when it comes to historical documents and autographs.
