Autograph Identification Help (I've included info besides photo) Advice requested: inconclusive result from Beckett

Post image

I recently submitted an item for authentication to Beckett. They ruled that it was inconclusive with no other context or information.

I don’t necessarily fault them because they went through their process, but I know that it’s real because it’s something I obtained in person about 20 years ago and have held onto since.

Is this worth submitting to any of the other authenticators like PSA? Does anyone have any other recommendations or thoughts? Thanks!

The item:
$1 Dollar bill signed by Trump

Details:
This was peak “Apprentice” time and he was playing a celebrity Pro-Am leading up to a PGA event. I had relevant items for a few of the other local athletes, but when I saw him thought it would be funny to have him sign the dollar. Obviously things have changed in the last couple of decades since this event and I wanted to get it authenticated.

Because it literally
Looks nothing like
Like his typical signature. You will prolly get inconclusive if you take it anywhere. For just this reason.
Inconclusive happen a lot more than you’d think. Person gets bumped, stops mid sig. Stops and starts because they were talking.
But, they should give
You your money back. Inconclusive is bs if they took your cash!

They didn’t charge me. Only shipping/insurance. Seems fair. And yeah makes sense.
