Autograph opinions wanted - Lee Trevino

LarkinCollector

Pretty sure the first one is legit, if not one of the finer examples. Second auto looks familiar, but I can't place who it actually is if not Trevino.

The first person I thought of was Butch Harmon,
or maybe his dad, Claude, but I looked at both
of their signatures and Butch's is way more
stylized that this one, and while Claude's "H"
looks about the same, his second letter looks
like an "a" in his signature, whereas it looks
like an "e" here.

Don't know if Lee ever worked with either of
the Harmons, but that's was just the first
thing I thought of.

Edited to add...

After reading Lee's Wiki page, I see that it
says that he never worked with any coach
or instructor. Said he never found one he
couldn't beat on the course.

Left one is good. Right one...huh?

Should've won an Oscar for his performance in Happy Gilmore.

John - Good ideas. I just did some research and looks like Lee has never had a swing coach, but a longtime caddy could be a possiblity, Herman Mitchell. Now I just need to find some examples to compare.

Vito - Exactly!

coach - Do they have one for celebrity cameo appearance? Barker should have got one for supporting role

At first I thought the one on the right was the Merry Mex after a case, but it is indeed Herman Mitchell (RIP). He's in the Hall for caddies, btw.

Pretty sure it's Herman Mitchell, Lee's longtime caddy based on the few examples I can find on the net. I can't find one with that exact H, but the 'e' higher than the rest of the lowercase letters and rest of the flow look consistent.

If that's legit, it may be unique!

Agreed, think I'll send it in on the next blue flip group sub to get PSAs opinion.

Doesn't look like PSA authenticates his signature?

Grrr, you're correct. It doesn't look like JSA does either. How can they both ignore an HOFer?
