I appreciate any feedback on this auto. Its of a 1993 Jimmy Dean auto of Ken Griffey Jr. It baffles me why anyone would sign the back of the card but either way any opinons are appreciated!

    I say its real!

    I don't think anybody trying to fake an auto would sign the back of the card, but in the other hand they might be doing reverse psychology and sign the back on purpose, so I would say hard call, but most likely its real...

    That is definately not Griffey's signature.

    Just to give you an idea of what Griffey's sig looked like in 1993 (the card was released in '94, signed late '93 early '94)....

    I've never seen a Junior auto where he puts an 'r' in the 'Jr'

    And looking at it again, there is nothing right about it.

    His signature has more edges/angles, it's sharper, that sig is too round..
    That may not be the best description, but the bottom line is the sig is fake.. sorry

    Hey guys, Thanks for the input. I sent the guy an e-mail asking for a refund. I dont expect to get one, but you never know.

    Isnt that a fascimile auto on the reverse of the Jimmy Dean cards?

    Why would you even think it was real? A Griffey Jr auto for 10 bucks....sh'yeah! Have to use common sense here and know it would be too good to be true.
