I totally missed the end of a couple auctions a few months back for some 2009 Topps Chrome Red Test auto's for Austin Jackson and Chris Tillman. I forgot who the seller was and I can find the original auction anymore, but those Test auto's were NOT signed. Now all of a sudden both of these popped up on eBay and both of these are suddenly signed. As an Austin Jackson collector, I don't think the Austin Jackson auto is legit. I'm no expert on Tillman, but that auto looks a little "off" to me as well. The seller doesn't mention if these autos were obtained in-person or not but I asked and I'll update when I hear back.
I know we've all talked about this before about how these test autos are almost a license to an easy scam, but since the focus of my collection is so limited, I haven't actually seen a blank "test" auto suddenly pop up with an autograph before now.
Have any of you seen a blank test auto suddenly pop up with an auto? Is this common? If it is indeed a legit auto obtained in-person, how do you guys feel about that? Assuming the blank test auto card really is as rare as advertised (1/1), I think it's a real friggin shame that it's now autographed....whether it's real or fake. I would've been willing to pay a hefty price tag for this Austin Jackson had it remained blank, but with the auto I have zero interest in it.
I know some of you feel differently....would love to hear your thoughts.
