These are hard to authenticate.

Painful to look at, a la late Ted Williams hospital-bound signatures.  But most certainly authentic.

Charley, Thanks for the look.

Yes, the "bones" are still there, :)

Here is mine, signed to the set nurse who was leaving C. 1968:

Eric, To me there a batch of actors autographs that are "enigma's wrapped in conundrum's", early Kelly's are one of them. Even with enough exemplars in front of me that show a progression from his early signatures to his last, his pre 70's are tough. You can see in our photos the  "D" is different yet  the same. His construction of the "y" in you is another key…..Over a 20 year period his autograph can still be all over the board….The one thing that is consistent to me the entire time is his "To"…the "T" varies but the construction and shape of the "o" nail's it every time….In my opinion...
