2000 SP Authentic Chirography Question

TecmoBo · 04-03-2022, 10:14 AM

Ok so I collect these sets, have 98 complete, working on 99-2003, I have a big chunk of 2000 finished, mainly due to one ebay seller...I've noticed all the cards I've bought from him are not signed in the traditional blue pen you usually see. What do we think here? Did this person take the time to forge a Joe Mays signature just to make the Jeter and Bonds seem more legit? Someone talk me off the ledge here haha...Rick Ankiel provided for context to the blue signature you usually see.

They look faded (blue turning black). Probably exposed to light over a period of time.

Yea the autos are good, but faded. I bet these were on display together at one point in time.

not fake just well on the way to turning gray and then fading off from there.

Ok thanks for talking me down haha, they will live in a box most of their lives in my home, which is unfortunate but I don't want any further degradation of the auto or yellowing of the card! I am going to probably go graded for the Koufax because I know those actually do have a bunch of fake/forgeries out there.
