I see a lot of clearly fake Dave Winfield autographs when I'm searching for new potential additions to my collection. However, this one caught my eye and seems to have been neatly worded so as NOT to say it was signed by Dave Winfield, just that it is a Dave Winfield card that has been hand-signed.

This one, however, is not as careful in its wording, and enters the realm of fraud, as the only realistic looking Winfield signature here is the blue one that is a printed facsimile, and clearly not the carefully drawn personal inscription:

Then there is this one. Very obviously NOT hand-signed, in-person by Dave Winfield, but while the description avoids directly saying it is, the title makes the implication a bit too directly:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-OPC-Pr...Autographed_Trading_Cards&hash=item416c09cc7f
This one completely neglects to obscure the nature of the card and goes for an outright lie, flatly saying the card was signed by Winfield, when it is clearly a horribly drawn copy of his name, most likely by someone under the age of 15:

While I would very much like to add some new Winfield autographed cards to my collection, these are not them.
