The big company cards should nearly all be fine. Even most of the small company ones are good even if they're nearly all lesser players. I've been collecting the signature rookies stuff for fun since they were new.
They (SR) did have one football player the first year where about 700 out of 10,000 were not his. I think the story was that the player got some help from a relative while the rep was in the bathroom or something. Supposedly the numbers of the wrong ones are known, although I've never been able to find the info. And they changed the proceedures after that.
Unsigned sig cards do get out, but I think that's unusual. I have a stack of Kordell Stewart unsigned 5 sport cards, but the card was never issued signed.
