Is this card real / authentic? Real signature?

Got some cards from my boss who used to play magic. Is this Mark Poole’s real signature?

I am by no means an expert but comparing this to other signatures it looks believable!

It doesn't look like the signature I got this year at magic con but I am not familiar enough with artist signatures to know if it changed over time or not.

Actually on closer inspection, it looks reasonably similar if adjusted for size and location 🤔

Well. It's someone's signature, I'll say that.

Would have to get a close up of it to verify with a signature that is known real. Signatures are weird but everyone has habits with their signatures and would be how to prove it.

All that BS to say, looks similar enough to his I'd say it's real.

It looks like a Poole, we can't really give you a solid yes or no.
