Star Pics auto cards

I remember reading an article somewhere regarding 1991 Star Pics auto cards. It was about the question of authenticity when it came to the round seal and autograph. Some of these cards were signed on the front and alot were signed on the back. I think it said that the seal had to touch a part of the auto to be authenitc. What I dont remember is if this goes for the cards signed only on the front or cards only signed on the back. Or perhaps for both ways ? Does anyone remember reading this or know how to tell? Here is a link to the auction in question.
Thanks

<< <i>I've never seen a clear sticker on those autos. The ones i own are signed on the back with the gold sticker....I never could understand why they signed the back of the cards. >>
I thought the same thing. Sign the front! Thats what we want to see. Didnt Pro Line have some cards signed on the back as well?

I have seen BGS graded Favres with every combo of signed front/back and clear/gold sticker. I have read that he only signed 50 on the front. I am sure that there are a lot of fake Favres including some in BGS and PSA holders (blasphemy, I know).
I assume they signed on the back because it is white and the signature shows up a lot better. Some of the cards have dark pictures and backgrounds on the front and the signature would not show well- same with Pro Line.

That is sets Aikman side by side with the other listed on eBay- I think that proves the stickers are not tamper proof.
Here is an intresting marketing research question:
Who's title is more appealing?
Who's description is more appealing?
If you were a buyer (He has the lower price) would you buy from him or send me an offer of 150.00?

Compare the stickers. The scribble in the center is poorly done on the fake auto card. Quality of the sticker is different also. So, that may be a fake sticker and not an original one removed from another card.
Pimp on....
So basically if PSA/DNA claims these fake autos are genuine, then I guess you really just need to stay far far far away! I mean, it's the perfect scam for these scumbags. Go buy common Star Pics autos for a couple dollars each, maybe a large lot for really cheap. Say 10 autos for $25 delivered. Well, if they ruin all but one sticker they flip that for $$$ after forging a stars signature and then putting the sticker on the card making it look "authentic" They do all these BS things like signing in a different color calling it rare or on the front or whatever also.
Seriously, I would not keep any star pics autos unless you actually pulled them, because they are probably worthless and not real.
