Very recognizable. Even when they try forging Trump's signature. Looks like it was produced by a seismograph rather than a hand!

Typically, with signatures like this, the exact number of excessively multiple waves, either sine-waves, as in Jimmie Foxx, or spikes, as in Trump, is overlooked by the forger (as well as the other intricacies common to someone's handwriting).

Here's my advice for buying a Stan Lee autograph, or just about anyone else.

Avoid PGX certified autographs. From what I've seen, in my opinion, they flip a coin. Heads it's good, and tails it's good. IMO, they either haven't a clue, or don't really care.   

Avoid buying an item unless the seller stands behind it.

Avoid buying a signed item that would have very negligible value, like low grade bargain box garbage, unless it was signed. This is where forgers profit. Turning slow quarters into fast 20s, turning $100 worth of inventory into $10,000. Tens of thousands of forged thrift shop bought books, records, videos, posters, etc., etc become forged items and are sold each week on ebay. Think of ebay as the wild west when it comes to autographed material.

By observing these three very basic tenets for autograph buyer's survival on ebay, you'll improve your chance of buying a genuine auto by 50%.

And they should know better than to mess with sheriff JJ Johnson...

I'd be guessing. Never seen that one before. Looks musical in nature as there's a makeshift 5 line music staff motif worked into it, either by design or accident.

Stevie Wonder?

A word about authentication. True cognitive autograph authentication is very different than recognizing different autographs. One way to authenticate is to use a library of exemplars, the more cpmprehensive that library, the better the chance of a positive outcome. But the true experts hone their level of skills with a certain, finite number of signors, concentrating their study and attention to the details of those and comparisons of the same over a large swath of time. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and some others, I've spent decades studying their signatures and handwriting. Letters, documents, etc., not just their signatures, but their actual handwriting. About a dozen or so more with the same intense scrutiny. Carrie Fischer? I've seen many, and I know what should be there, but I don't have the same confidence to ID her handwriting like I do Jack and Stan and some others, where exemplars are unnecessary, and I know their hand as well as I do my own. While recognizing signatures can be fun and a challenge, authenticating a well studied signature is as different as night and day.

These days, with the lack of handwriting drills, there is a lack of fluidity and legibility to many autographs.  As well as the repetition where the sig starts breaking down after a while.  Levar Burton from TNG has a nice artistic sig.  I have many Trek sigs, on figures, cards and flats, but no top celebs.  This is a good thread, though.
