Is this Marino Autograph legit ?

Hard to say for sure, but the "D" doesnt look like a lot I have seen and the "O" at the end looks a little different.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I've dealt with the Marino autograph, and the 'D' is the first thing that jumped out to me as looking off. And you're right about the 'o'.....Marino's 'o' takes more of a sharp left turn up at the top than the one in this picture does.

Every Marino auto I have ever seen starts with what looks like a lower case, cursive d. This is the first I've seen that starts with a capital D.

If it were me and I were looking to purchase this item, I would pass on it for a better example of his signature.

On both of the authentic examples, the starting point of the D is outside the loop of the D. On the example in question, the starting point of the D is well within, almost at the middle, of the inner loop of the D.

Also, on the r to o transition at the end, the r to o makes a little shelf/plateau and then the pen drops to form the O. On the questioned example, it does not have this. In fact, it comes from way below and looks like a u to the O.


May be nothing....may be worth noting..
