Early Jeter auto opinions needed

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I'm late to the party, but there are a few things I don't like as well.

What really gave it away to me is the curvature or bend of the graph from the Derek to the Jeter.

Typically, this happens with a carefully planned auto that tends to be forged. With what I have observed.

Edited too add: should have just +1'd Zipper lol

The person who penned it didn't do a bad job.

They attempted to replicate a 1995-cica Jeter autograph.

Interesting observation about the curving of his name. I would not have realized that .. Thanks!

i don't think the curve has anything to do with it, the card below has a curve and i've seen other sigs of his curve. again i've never seen this combination of his sig before, but it's not necessarily bad. there's alot to like here, and i asked in a pm to the OP if he can show me where the source is but haven't gotten a response.

I agree on alot to like about it. It's atypical and quite possibly an in person sig I feel. The curvature could possibly be due to signing in person standing up, maybe not signing on a flat surface? Hard to say, but if it is a forgery, I don't think I've ever seen one quite like it of this early Jeter style. I would lean towards real. Seeing a picture of the complete item and a more clearer/less blurry picture would help if possible. I wouldn't bet my life on it either way being real or fake but my gut would lean towards it being real.

Some somewhat similar examples from 94-95... in the 95 versions you can see the last name plane line drop down some too.

Nice batch of cards.

I have the regular signed 94, but none of the inserts. And if that 1 of 5000 is an 8x10 I don't think I've ever seen one.

The guy selling it has been slow to respond . He offered it to me in package with other Jeter items (non auto ) I told him I would buy the group and I haven't heard from him since .. Sorry if I missed your PM
