It is possible Henry didn't write well.
Could be a 10 for his signature.

Sure, its perfect....When he was in his 80s!

The grade of 10 is for the autograph, not the card. Despite being a little sloppy, the signature appears to have held up very well, isn't faded, and looks fine to me.

Thanks, Pokerplyr80. My mistake, I didn't know/realize cards could be graded/slabbed just for the autograph.

Based on recent events within the hobby and posts on here lately, I assumed it was the card and jumped to the conclusion it was a fake.

Blue PSA slabs are auto grade only, red slabs grade the card. They're supposed to be coming out with slabs that will grade both card and autograph. See Begsu's auto rookie thread. He's much more knowledgeable on the subject than I am.

You might want to have Leon move this to the post war discussion board as this is posted in the b/s/t

Didn't know that either so I appreciate the explanation.

I did consider PW but thought because it was on E-Bay it should go here?
I guess all questions, if you're not buying, selling or trading, should go to PW instead?

Thanks again...

It's ok, I've posted in the wrong section from time to time as well. This section is for buying and selling. Questions go in the discussion forum, either pre-war or post-war depending upon which era the question refers to.
