Nick, do you happen to have any known authentic examplars that match this style . I cant find any online that match this one . Im only looking at bills , laws and signed letters from 2012 from the president .

I have gone after Obama since 2006, and have gotten him many times this campaign.  That's how he signs now.  Here are some I posted on here for sale:

Nick,

I checked your link and I think your Obamas are rock-solid. But if you got them in the last couple of years, I doubt this one more than I did before.

Here is another one I got that seems to match this signature pretty close.   He got sick of signing photos on the trail, and I got a lot that seemed more rushed than the books.  This seems to be the case with the original poster's B in the Barack.

I don't question this one. But it looks like a different animal.

Your JSA LOA: X53283 from your link is the same photo this one is on.....I have an Obama from 2008 with a slightly different signature than the 2012 version. The official signatures on bills & letters of presidents are often different than the campaign, in person, & book signing type signatures.

Your right about that. But they are most likely genuine , and there are characteristic in those signatures that are kept when signing in person or signing a professional document.

Im leaning alot towards this item not being genuine after seeing the in person ones Nick posted. Im even seing signs a right handed person signed the item .

The B doesnt kick out in the curve like all the in person ones do . The small letters are off . They are usually jagged and sharp . Yours is rounded .There are few more things. But I dont know how to explain them in typing .

Anthony,

Notice the rounding of the small letters instead of deliberate points. That's not the Obama I know.

Yeah , I noticed the O wasnt typical either . Is Reznikoff on here still ? Or maybe he knows the deal with Obama campaign taking items to be signed on this campaign .

He's on here from time to time, but Obama isn't his sweet spot. Herman Darvick, who works for him, is probably his guy for Obama. I'll drop a message to Michael Ragsdale.
