Hi Ken...it's difficult to see the beginning of that signature, but honestly I don't know what to make of this one. If someone on eBay was selling this my initial reaction would be that it's a poor attempt at a forgery of the secretarial version of his signature. It certainly doesn't resemble any of the in person signatures I ever got from Fernando.
That said, I do also allow for the fact that sometimes a player will sign an in person autograph in a crowd or a rush and you never know what kind of messy signature you might get. Alex Rodriguez signed an 8x10 in person for me at Spring Training one time that would probably never pass authentication by a TPA. So who really knows.
