Unless this incredibly happens to be a James Dean signature as a twelve year old, it's not his. James has a very neat handwriting.

Wish it was better news for you. I've looked at the others and I don't think they are real either. I'm not an expert on Dean although I'm sure you will get others to chime in shortly.

I'm no expert on Dean. Here is a good signature study on him that you can use for comparison.

No amount of provenance is going to help that.

Yes. Not for Dean but I don't need to be for this. It is terrible. All the signs - undedicated, unsubscribed, tiny loose "cut" of paper...it has "that look" - and then it is not James Deans hand either...
