What do you guys think of this one? Saw it on completed. Like the card, but I don't like that autograph. Any opinions??

Not necessarily. I've seen a bunch of back doored fakes. Pujols. Hank Aaron. Will Clark. Lot of the unsigned ones leaked into the market well after the product was released. Was thinking this Ozzie might be another.

I stayed far away....the flow and size of the letters concerned me. The wizard part is much different when compared to the UD nicknames.

Stay away! Not only does his signature look off but "the Wizard" looks off to me as well.
I have several IP autographs and I wouldn't buy it.

One of mine:

Throwing all logic out the window, it looks more like a mock up / promo card [like the ones on sell sheets] with a facsimile autograph [that may or may not be the player's] as opposed to a real autograph card.

its a cert so im gonna say real

Here is what I mean by backdoored unsigned ones. I've seen the Pujols signed as well, just can't find a picture of it. Thanks guys for confirmation on the Ozzie. It wasn't mine, so I didn't get taken, but I like to save scans and gather info on the fake cards out there and was pretty sure the Ozzie fit the bill.

Edit: Found an Aaron with questionable signature too:

Oh yeah, I think the Aaron is junk. I wish I could find the scan of the Pujols. It looks nearly as bad. I've actually seen a couple different Aaron's floating around. They still sell for big bucks, but I don't always blame the seller. In some cases, both the buyer and seller of these cards are unaware.
