Is This Tom Seaver/Johnny Bench Auto Legit?

I picked this card up years ago. Just found it going through some stuff. Never really knew for sure if the autos were real or not. What do you think? They are definitely not stamped or printed on. They are actual sharpie signatures. And they are both in a different color, Seaver a dark blue and Bench a black sharpie. Give me your opinions!

    neither one looks good to me - there appear to be some pretty noticeable "stops" in the autographs

    the "T" in Tom has a couple, and the "J" in Johnny has one at the top as well.

    EDIT: The "B" in Bench also has a "stop" right in the middle. I also don't think the slant on either is correct, but will need to drag mine out to compare.

    Good eye by bounce. But I hope it's real.

    I'd have to agree they don't look right, hope we're wrong. But the stops and some issues with the key letters in both have me concerned.

    Pretty sure those are no good. Seaver looks especially had to me

    I have no experience with these specific signatures, but what strikes me as a red flag is the nearly identical "slant" in both of the signatures.
