I disagree. Black ink is very stable.

Using a scan, it is not possible to determine whether the item is original, or a laser-printed copy. Only direct handling can do that.

It's really fortunate for Joey that Jeff is so well-educated that he recognized this particular signature.

Bravo, Jeff!

100% agree. However, it just looked off to me. The signature did not match the medium. And I said so privately via PM with Joey. But I agree that you can't tell via scan...

Thanks guys, glad I could help. If anyone is interested, here are the two examples of this replica (and yes they had certs and sold though major auctions) that had initially set off the red flags. I can't recall exactly but "I think" the certs may have been faked (or at least these two because they had the same number I believe, I suppose it could have been a copy of the original cert for the one authentic example of these cards that exists, assuming there was one). I remember spending almost a whole day looking into it a couple years ago (and may have even posted about it here)
