sig looks off to me, doesn't have his usual flair esp the immie part. or maybe it's because of the glossy paper? opinions please, thanks.

I would agree that is doesn't look like it has a normal flow and looks a little labored, but if authentic it would have been signed very late in life. That's a tough one to make a call on. For what it's worth, here is a similar signed PSA version which I have the same issues with.

The PSA appears to have better flow.

I saw that one posted also. Makes you wonder why it is not authenticated and put up on an auction house site.

thx for the link jason i did look at a few other plaques to compare but saw they flowed better, yours is probably the closest match.

That card has made the rounds for a while. Here are a couple of mine for reference. One is presently for sale on Ebay also ;)

Their are 2, one is a duplicate. And what would cause your hesitation, lack of trust in the authenticators, personal opinion, or just being negative?

Personal opinion, not the authenticator. Would love others opinions on the 2 Foxx's

I'm not really an autograph guy, but I know those yellow plaques were only available for Foxx to sign for maybe two years tops. That being said it seems strange that his signature looks different in two examples signed within 2 years at the most. But like I said, I am no autograph guy. Mostly for reasons like that.
