no kidding that's what i was thinking as well lol. that's just scary. unless some idiot got it signed in pencil haha

From what I read online the autographs are real, are you saying that isn't the case? I don't collect modern cards so I don't know either way.

Hey Brian, what do you mean? Like this wasnt produced with the player signing these, this set at least. It's a fascimile for this set. I don't see another signature

I don't know about this set in particular but I guess bowman chrome includes cards with real and printed signatures. The sellers pictures don't really help.

Here is a post I found talking about the difference-

So blue ink is a true signature and black is printed?

Here's another Freeman that's also slabbed by Beckett but doesn't list that its signed.
Are they the same?

A good checklist is here, Freeman isn't in the autograph set.

So unless it's on the back that's a big mistake.

read all about Spence's so called "experience" farther down the blog under "Pillars of Integrity"

"Before James Spence became an authenticator he worked as a fitness instructor at Club Med and for Cunard Cruise Lines, as a salesman for American Van Equipment and as a ladder salesman..."

he may have more experience selling Ladders

The bgs pic is a facsimile. Freeman does not have an autographed version for the set. Emailed seller and he said "its on the right right,.and that's why it say jsa.". Haha what a joke
