In the mid 90s they were purchasing massive amounts of cards and having the athletes sign them. It would fit the time period and make sense. Scoreboard generally"oversaw" all the QVC buyback autos.Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-19333257990782911852017-10-03T22:39:20.626-07:002017-10-03T22:39:20.626-07:00Yeah, it's always at least somewhat questionab...Yeah, it's always at least somewhat questionable unless you witness the autograph yourself, but what can you do? As far as this instance, well again, the plaque originally had a non-auto card in it, not packaged together, so don't let that influence you, but yeah, who knows.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-39420058106775876122017-10-03T22:34:00.020-07:002017-10-03T22:34:00.020-07:00Thanks for the info, Billy!

So not totally a solved mystery, but I'm reasonably confident it's a legit buyback auto.<br /><br />As for Tom Petty, I like your theory that he faked his death and is still out there somewhere.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-18062230355909276742017-10-03T06:05:21.779-07:002017-10-03T06:05:21.779-07:00When I worked at a card shop, we had a vendor who ...When I worked at a card shop, we had a vendor who sold us a lot of these plaques with a name plate and a certified autograph (hand numbered). This was in the 90's when any COA was credible and sold in our store. I bought a Jerry Rice for my dad, but every time I see it in his office I question its authenticity.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-60853708678933547302017-10-03T00:46:40.871-07:002017-10-03T00:46:40.871-07:00Well, I've heard Tom Petty may not have actual...Well, I've heard Tom Petty may not have actually died, so that's a good thing. Not much other good news in the world today. <br /><br />That does look like UD's buyback style, but the one buyback autograph I pulled had a sticker on the back with a number code- not a serial number- that matched a certificate of authenticity included in a penny sleeve with the card right out of the pack. But, they did the buyback autographs more than one year so there might be variations. The signature looks good. <br /><br />Shaq did not sign any autographs while with the Magic, his first in packs was 1999-00. Luckily, I managed to pull it at the time. Buybacks and IP autos were it until his career ended and Panini started using all kinds of photos on their cards. <br /><br />I've heard some of his rapping...there's a reason he's not known for it.
