Help With Some Miami Dolphins Autographs? (Please!)

I picked up a huge lot of Miami Dolphins IP/TTM Autographs recently. I feel good about most of them after comparing the signatures to those that I could find online. The cards below are the exceptions for one reason or another. I'm hoping for a little help in determining if they are good or not. I appreciate your time and info in advance!

Thanks
Craig


The "B" is different than any that I've found online

The 1984 Topps in black is the one I'm curious about. Smaller than the others.

No clue on this one

The Topps RC is the one I'm curious about

Couldn't find another with just the "B"

Could not find another card signed like this

I know sigs change but...

The "J" on these have me questioning both

    I think the Shula looks to be the most suspect. None of the other certified examples even come close. Too many starts and stops with the signature, uneven pressure and no smoothness or fluidity with the writing.

    phelda - I agree. I couldn't fine another even close to that one. I appreciate it!

    Thanks

    I have a couple signed kuechenberg cards and your RC doesn't look right to me.

    Totally agree - Shula and Kuch rc don't look good.

    DanBessette/gregm13 - I was hoping it was just an earlier signature, thinner tipped marker or something. I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond!

    The Upper Deck MVP and the SP Authentic Zach looks good, the others not so much. There is a good deal of variation in Zach's auto, but one consistent thing is the slant heavily sloped. Also the horizontal first line of the "5". He does sometimes place the "54" both to the left and the right of the auto, so the SP Authentic one may also be good too. Compare to ebay auction #

    phelda - I was thinking those two as well. They seemed more like the ones I was seeing on eBay. The others looked a little smaller. I appreciate your insight and the links! I can't make up my mind on the Parmalee though. Any thoughts?

    Thanks
