Thanks for sharing! I'm leaning towards authentic....I'm sure JSA has plenty of exemplars (yes I know they get things wrong, even things I've submitted)....would be kinda weird for a forger to connect the d and A, as it's not common, but ya never know.

The link from A to D isn't that rare but the unfinished M is
That would be my red flag

Not a great example even if authentic. You can get a nice early large example on a glove for $750 or so if you look hard.

Unless it is really cheap, I would hold out for a better one but I lean toward authentic as well.

Thanks William & Randy & Carlos for your input..i passed on it..it sold for a pretty low amount at a local sports auction (around $500 including Buyers Premium/tax)...but i'd rather pay a little more for a nicer example.
