Requested Opinion: Sean Connery Auto's

I have been reviewing eBay lately for an autographed movie poster with Sean Connery's signature and I came across three auctions today. Unfortunately, none of the autographs are authenticated by a reputable 3rd party (PSA or JSA) so I defer to the opinion of the experts.

The first two examples (provided below" are from the same seller. I don't believe either of these autographs are genuine as the slant in "Connery" appears to be incorrect. In addition, within photo 1 I don't understand why the signature just stops after the "a" in Sean.

The example in the 3rd photo has the appearance to be genuine. In reviewing the examples provided by PSA on their website, the slant of this autograph and the "S" and "C" appear to be good.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Sean's signature is not very complicated and changes just enough between signatures to keep the best authenticators guessing. My advice is that you don't want to buy any Connery autograph unless you have someone that you trust 100% offering.

Sean is well into his 80's, his health has not been great for the last 10 years, and he hates to sign autographs. Over the course of one year (about 2012) his signatures were all over the place, and then he just stopped signing.

Upward angles, downward angles, connected C's disconnected C's, Se, Sea, and almost Seau. His ever changing inperson autograph has plenty of people guessing and plenty of forgers getting away with murder.
