It appears the pencil signature was created to match the facsimiles from the facsimiles. It is too much of a match - spatially exact which is impossible. It also appears slowly drawn and shaky. Here is McQeen C. 1961:

That makes a lot of sense. I was so excited to land this autograph. The seller sold almost all of his autographs. Either he was legit and trusted people like I had done through the years. I guess I will have more surprises good or bad as I start putting more signatures in my collection. I had it boxed and was going to ship it to PSA tomorrow. I still would like to hear some more comments. I am an old guy that can handle almost any thing.

Well, post some more of what he sold you for review. I would not send this to PSA - throwing good money after bad or whatever the saying is. How much did he ask for the "McQueen?" And when did you buy it and how?

PS - Sorry to bear bad news. Wish it was better.

You can always do a Quick Opinion with an authentication company. It's not an official authentication but it's a fraction of the price.

I don't expect the news to be any better but it might give you added peace of mind.

Steve C. is good with McQueen, perhaps he will take a look. I will ask him.

I can tell the the responses it is what you described. It it too perfect. I paid 350.00 for it a few weeks ago on Market Place. The seller had to know it was bad. He sold most of his other autographs. He must be a con? I will be trying to get my money back if the name is real on the letter. I will try and get my Ali glove posted on here and get ready for the let down.

That is much less than it should be. I would not place much stock in that letter. I wanted to mention, the "aging" is very revealing, apart from the poor execution.
