This is a two part question everyone. First I am trying to verify a signature on an Uber Signature Item I want to put up for Auction. The picture itself was too big to attach so I put a link to a Google Drive folder with the picture in it.
The little boxy one next to it I'm pretty sure is Erol Otus and I'm waiting for him to verify that, but the one next too it is the one in unsure about. It is likely that the person is assostatied with 3rd edition as an artist or non-designer capacity.

The second quetion is I am going to be selling an Uber signature item; it has Gary, Dave's and 8 other signatures. Once the attached signature is identified then I will be taking steps to auctioning it off. What I am wanting to know is who are the people here who are the serious signatue collectors. I want to auction it off soon but do not want to miss letting serious collectors that might be interested know about it. I also have other questions I would like to ask them.

Thank you all for your help,
Kevin Regier

The picture I have will not attach because of the file size so here is a Google Drive Link to picture:

Firstly, welcome to the Acaeum, Kevin.

With using google drive, you have to give people access to view files.  This can be done by setting up the sharing attributes under manage access, and give anyone with the link, viewer rights.

If you flip it, I'm thinking Arnie Swegel (interior art).

My friends Dave & Gary made a quantum leap in the human soul. Remember them.

It is not :(
:roll:
There is another signature that is obviously Arnie's signature.

Wish I had a time machine and could go back and see.

Still a mystery signature.

Looks like a v3.0 Player's Handbook from Gencon 2020.  I've owned 3 copies with the Arneson and Gygax signatures along with a host of others.  Will be curious to see what this one brings.

That's amazing and for sure a lot of the same . We were for sure there at the same time.
Pretty great.

The Acaeum is literally the only place a question like this could be answered. Imagine if we devoted our time to solving crime or something. I'm not. I am just saying "imagine." :)

I already answered about 5 of his questions on Facebook. He didn't make it sound like he had more. Now that he is here and asking more questions I didn't want to squash anyone else's sleuthing fun.
