That's terrible, you get a card like that and the signature is that bad.

No variation, just some foolish person who allowed that card to be left out in the light, causing the ink to fade away over time. That Pujols is a classic example as to why I never display any cards or autographs. Light kills.

Tim if that is the case why didn't the card fade as well?

Ink will fade before the actual card surface. Especially given the fact that it is a modern chrome card with all the special clear coats and finishes they put on those cards. They are probably better protected than most cars

Dummies need to sign with a pigmented based ink that resists fading - This was signed with a cheaper dye based ink which can fade as shown.

Thanks Matt, yeah that sounds reasonable.

I was aware that it was not an actual variation.

Seeing that makes the other 499 that much of a better invesment every year.

P.S. Yes, I'm still waiting for him to fall back down to earth,it's been a few years and although that "injury" he had was promising, it hasn't seemed to slow him down.

Likely someone will crack it out and trace or remove and re-write his name. Do they really authenticate certified autos?
