The only concern I see with it are the tails on the "F" and the "T," but that's just because I can't see them very well. What I can see looks okay to me. Is it paint pen?

I have to believe there are better examples out there though guys.

These are two of my favorites...I really want a Leaf with a period sig.

Those are pretty awesome! I have been looking for period correct auto's of his from 1990, but the only I have seen recently is a bit more than I want to spend:

I did pick up a 1990 fleer auto, which was probably signed in '93 or so:

Shortly after writing this I found this example, which I hope that there is no bidding war over! Hoping to add my first period correct auto to my collection.

The only painful thing about this card is that the auto looks real, but the "35" clearly looks fake.....

That's the first thing I thought when I saw that... Nice sig, but that "35" doesn't look good.

Looking at the 35...I still dont know..I've been lookin at different 35's...the downstroke on the 3 is like the F. This is one of the only early franks with a 35 I've seen.

My personal opinion, but I know Lance would probably disagree with this:

The 35 is legit.

I've talked to multiple collectors who claimed to have gotten IP autos at shows, including auto tickets, that include the full sig and 35. Now, they could all be full of it...but I'm pretty confident when I see that style "35."

While the scale of these autos is much different, the stylings are basically identical:

Interesting.....makes me feel a bit better about bidding on the card. I am still suspicious, but it was good to see your example.

And yet there are 11 bids on it. ::facepalm::

::facepalm:: :evil:
I bid on it cause I thought it'd be cool to own a counterfeit one but I only bid $2. I really hope everyone bidding on it knows its counterfeit.
