This was brought to my attention by another CJ collector. I believe it to be fake, and would be curious on the board's opinion.

First of all, The release from Press Pass said there are only 2 Red Inks and 1 Inscription for the Silver level.

All of the other CJs I have seen that were either, were at the immediate beginning or end of the print run.

Here is the card in question:

Considering I own this, it is an immediate Red Flag

To me, on the card in question, the ink is a different color. Also notice the L and the 8 specifically as 2 things that do not seem consistent with other known inscriptions.

Here are two more to compare to. Of all the Lightnings I have seen, there has only been one Blue Ink (Class of 2010 numbered 100/100) and the rest were red, if that is something that should be noted

Looks fake to me for 2 reasons:

1. Is it just me or does it look like the moron forger spelled it "Lightnig" and then went back and added in the 2nd "n"???

2. The "8" doesn't look right compared to the others examples given.

Look at the spacing between all of the letters, it just looks to weird to me. The forger definitely added the 2nd "n" in afterwards. I'm sure Spiller has signed "lightning" enough times to know how to spell it correctly.

Yeah he has. It just looked like crap, but looking at the second G, it seems like he wrote his normal G, then tried to add onto it to make it more loopy like how CJ does.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

pretty much covered it all, the auto alone looks suspect and you can tell he added the second n on the first card. good find
