Hey everyone,
I'd love to know whether somebody here can help me with the authenticity of this:

im not an expert by any means but the H seems a lil off to me... from what i have seen of hst's autographs the H seems to be a lil more fluid than that usually... with that said i have seen many different variations of his auto... sometimes he wrote "HST" sometimes "H S Thompson" and sometimes just "H" with that said if you are buying Hunter's autograph then expect to pay several hundred dollars for an authentic autograph...
here are some authentic examples...

Lukus, the "H" in the signature from the link you provided bothers me
It looks rather "unnatural" and therefore I have to say it's a forgery

Thank you both for your opinions.
I have just discovered that at the signing mentioned in the auction's description, HTS signed ONLY his new book "Hey Rube". So it most surely is a forgery.
