It's a pretty easy autograph to forge to be honest, so I suppose there's no way to know with certainty, but I think the fact that you traded for it in 94/95 should make you feel a bit better about it. Even though he was a top prospect, he obviously wasn't the HOF, NY Yankee Captain at that time, and top prospects didn't have the dollar signs attached to them in the 1990's that they do today. If you had recently acquired it the chances of it being a forgery go way up. I got Jeter several times during that same time frame and my earlier ones all look identical to that. I would feel comfortable owning this one.
