Since it's in the authenticity forum, I assume they want to know if it's an authentic SEAN Connery. ;)
That doesn't look authentic to me. The overall look doesn't match authentic in person autographs. For example the C in Connery is very off, it doesn't loop right if that makes sense.

According to the dealer it was signed IP so I find this....odd

Just cause a dealer says it was signed in person doesn't say anything really, they could just be lying. Sean Connery's autograph is often forged.
Are they a UACC registered dealer? What other items do they have for sale, and do those look authentic? Did they say when it was signed? (Sean Connery's autographed has changed a bit over the years. And in the last 10 years or so he hardly ever signed anything).
But either way it's just my opinion about the autograph.
Here are a few examples for you to compare it to yourself.

wow, that sure is interesting. In my eyes the autograph looks off compared to others I've seen, and I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with purchasing it. But like I said, it's just my opinion about the autograph. I could be wrong.
On a side note: they even say themselves on the website that 80-90% of the Sean Connery autographs on the market are fake, so unless they actually saw him signing it in front of them (which I doubt they did, but could be possible I guess) then it's just an educated guess about it's authenticity on their part also.

That autograph is forged 100%,after a while it's easy to tell the difference.
