WAG = Real.

The ones on EBAY do look different, each from the other.


I was thinking about this the other day.

If each board member who wished to participate was
assigned one player to grab exemplars for from EBAY
listings of PSA/DNA sigs, a pretty substantial bank of
sigs could be assembled.

They could all be dumped on a site somewhere for easy
look-see.

<< <i>who would fake his sig? >>


Very good question Drew.

This came out of a blister pack my son picked up around 1993. It was packaged by Treat Corporation which supplied Walmart with repackaged stuff.

Now for my observation.

I looked at the sig real quick with a loupe to see if it was a true sig and it was.

But, I think it may be an autopen.

Reason? The dark spot at the end of the sig looks like ink had pooled - people don't usually pool ink when they sign since they "lift" their pen upon completion.

What do ya think?

I will say - this one may be from the same supplier - tho the ebayer doesn't say that's the source. The sig is different - the odds of two people getting this particular card signed and in exactly the same place if pretty hard to fathom.

So, maybe Javy does leave a little ink when he signs?

Thanx for the link basestealer and stown.

//////////////////////////////////

So-called "pools" also happen when a signer "pushes-off" at the end of the
stroke, rather than "lifting." It can also come from a "pull-away" of the card,
if the card was palmed while it was signed; rather than lifting the pen, the
signer pulls or drops the palmed card away from the pen.

Those marks are super-common in political documents, which actually are
signed with an auto-pen. Many auto-pen docs are quite valuable.

Thanx for the input Storm.
