I would pass on this one.  When was it supposed to have been signed?

Any specifics on what to look for?  I really dont know much about his autograph.

Unfortunately Steven Spielberg's signature is all over the place.  There is something about the "S"s that bothers me about this particular autograph.  The first one particularly appears to be too symmetrical.  The autograph also seems to have a very refined appearance which is not indicative of something that was signed in person.  It may very well be authentic.  I would just pass on it personally since I do not have a good feeling about it.  Take a look at some of the examples here.

You certainly are correct, it is all over the place.  I could never tell a real one unless I got it in person.

Try the next best thing John.  Find an in-person dealer that you can trust and buy with confidence.
