I understood the numbers 163 & 03 on the inked 3x5 card to mean 2003 debut, player 163. I looked that up and it was Chase Utley, but since you mentioned Tsao, I went back and he was debut #162 in 2003. Maybe a simple mistake by the person recording the details of the signature? It certainly adds some legitimacy to it being Tsao.
It bums me out that so many signatures are undocumented, I try to ID all of mine for future owners, but these sites and the collective knowledge out there is amazing as well. I am pretty decent with Dodgers myself, but sometimes they just don’t click. After all, there have been a couple thousand of them by now.
