1996 Leaf Signature versions?

[Titans74]

Any info on red ink signatures? Print run? Or common?

I don't know anything about red ink but I know ARod has both blue and black versions of his cards and it seems the blue typically sell for a little more. They are definitely in much shorter supply.

Thx. I was never into this set back the, so have little knowledge of the variations/versions. Can't seem to track down any info on red ink.

Take care with these "red" ink autos...most are black ink autos that have experienced decomposition due to light exposure.

Do you have a scan of one? The only red ink versions I've seen have actually been black ink signatures that have faded or more specifically sun/light exposure damage.

Bunch of bull and Sean,

I'm glad you two said that. I sent a message to the seller an hour or so ago, asking the exact same question. That was my fear, that it was simply a badly faded black ink.

It's a Palmeiro on Ebay. To answer the scan question. I'll avoid this one and pick up a nice black ink copy.

If you are talking about this one:

Then yes, my guess is that it is faded. I had a Puckett that was similar (I bought it that way, but presumed it was fading)

That's the one. At first I thought I was being paranoid until you guys mentioned the same thing about the fading. Was so hoping it was a rare red version lol
