WHile SB did insert, in 1 product I believe, other companies autographed cards into a product, signed by players it had under contract, and used that seal, I am also told that after I was gone from SB people walked out with the seals, and that those corporate seals were counterfeited as well. In addition, Maddux was an expensive autograph at the time and SB did not have a lot extra to use, and typically the product would have been filled with players who SB had 'too many' autos remaining under contract in order to liquidate them.
With the above in mind, coupled with fact IMO it looks like an attempt to copy Maddux's signature , i would say not authentic.
