NEON GREEN: 'Z' on calendar does not have a stroke through it.

RED: Bottom of 'Z' loops on calendar, resembles cursive '2'. I didn't circle but the top of the 'Z' also does not match at all.

BLUE: 'P' on questionable inscription is two strokes, real one uses one stroke.

ORANGE: 'D's on questionable inscription is two strokes, real ones use one stroke. The 'D's on the real one also loop, while the questionable ones do not.

DARK GREEN: 'K's are just completely different I don't even know where to begin.

PINK: This is the part I found most interesting. One of the features that the handwriting expert pointed out on the questionable autographs is that the signer sometimes put a little tail on the end of their "A"s, while the real Luka signatures tend to not have any tail at all.

And low and behold, not one but two of the 'A's on the questionable inscription feature the tail on the 'A'...

I do not believe Luka ever stepped foot anywhere near that calendar.
Nice analysis. If people are paying for handwriting experts I would find one of the witnessed Panini next day autos and one of the Panini sticker Lulu's to compare since they have such drastic differences. The Optic on cards I believe Luka grabbed a stack, signed them, and had his ghostwriter finish the rest.
