Did Maddux sign TTM his entire career?

I'd be shocked if he signed at all with the exception of maybe his first year or two. He may have signed sporadically, similar to Trout, but really can't imagine him being a consistent TTM signer.

Regarding the authenticity of the example the op is asking about, I wouldn't touch it. He has one of the easier signatures for forgers so I would shoot for IP or at least something authenticated through JSA or PSA/DNA.

My brother got Maddux twice TTM in 1988. He sold me his collection a couple years ago. I know one is on a Fleer card with a dried out blue sharpie and I'll have to check the other one. They are vintage signatures, IMO.

Maddux was very sporadic in his TTM signing but he did sign quite a bit from 2001-2002. Would occasionally sign up until about 2007 but there was way more requests he didn't honor during this period than he signed. I got Maddux personally sometime in the early 2000's. Around 2001 or 2002.

If you look at his pack certified autographs from the early 2000's you see this style of autograph on the cards.

So, I was a bit wrong. My brother sent to him twice, apparently, as Maddux used two different markers with an unfortunate dried out blue one on this '89 Donruss.
