Help on Ryan auto

I am found this card, but I am unsure if the auto is authentic.
Any help from the experts here would be appreciated.

Thanks

    I say not real or possibly signed in a hurry or last card signed walking into the stadium. Hard to believe someone would fake an auto on a nice 72 Ryan.

    agree, he signs a ton and his auto is very consistent... and very neat usually.

    Thanks everyone, that was my thoughts after seeing other examples of Ryan's auto graded by PSA/DNA.

    The seller also has many other autos of HOF and other ballplayers that he is selling that may not be real as well.

    Maybe Ryan Klesko but not 'ol #34

    Doesn't even look close. No way.

  • Fake.

    Here is an example of a real autograph from my collection:

    Well, it does bear some resemblance to this one that I got in person after the Astros-Padres game in San Diego on Aug 3, 1983.

    Is that the famous 4will TrioP (Willie Mays) beside the Ryan auto?

    It's Tim Flannery. He got the only hit that night off Nolan (a single in the third inning). That's the scoring page of the program from the game. I kept score of every game I ever went to image I got Nolan to sign it after the game...it took several years to get Tim's autograph on it.

    I'd love to see that auto and a later Mays auto side by side...that's crazy.

    Obviously not the same...but some strange similarities...

    I think it's a genuine Ryan signature but no way would I buy it.

    First of all, it's a crappy signature.

    Secondly, Ryan will sign anything you send him for $35 and up (cards used to be $18) through his Foundation and even add whatever inscription you (for a little want for a little extra. Considering some show prices for contemporary players, I think these are reasonable for a Hall of Famer one of the all-time greats. AND, you're getting it direct from the source.
  • I'd say that it is real. I've seen a bunch of his autos that are pure garbage. I've even acquired a few in person. One from the early eighties is on a ball that I got the Astros to sign after a game. The Ryan sig is basically the N followed by a scribble and the R followed by a scribble. Don't know maybe he was in a hurry , disinterested or just loaded on the post game brews. He was friendly at least.

    I collect nolan ryan pics and lithos that are auto'd. If he had time to sign I could do a better forgery that that.......

    As another member has stated , most of ryan's auto's have consistency and all similar....this one is not even close.
