RE: I think i bought a fake auto :(
if you thought it was odd, why did you bid on it then?

Very good question...im actually surprised youre the first to ask. I figured if i got it cheap enough it was worth the risk.....and for $18 i think that was cheap enough for this gronk auto. I havent got it in yet so i dont know what it looks like in person. We'll find out.

I agree it looks different, compared to the autograph card that I have of his and the autos in your recent mailday post. Is the card listed on Beckett? Was this card released a sticker autograph? If the answers are no, then it's fake, or an in-person. If it's an in person, then send it in to Beckett. That is what I would do. Just my two cents.

The card is listed in beckett and i have seen legit copies of it that all look the same with exception to the auto being wirtten differently. However they did put out a non auto version of the card which is what got me skeptical.....but the picture he showed of the back shows the panini authentic stamp of approval basically...so until i get it in hand i wont know for sure. Even then it is strange....id like to know the story behind it. The more i hear what people are saying and the more i think about it....it would be hard to fake it if it does have the panini thing on the back...but its still a very odd sig....like did he have someone else sign this one or something lol

I agree that the auto looks different than others,but I would rest better knowing that the COA is on the back.Like many have said already,some sign thousands at a time and I am sure are distracted at times while signing those.I think you have a great piece!

RE: I think i bought a fake auto :(
maybe Gronk signed it different to see if we are paying attention. if its the only card with a sloppy auto, does that make it a 1/1? LOL

RE: I think i bought a fake auto :(
That looks extremely odd, but if someone was going to fake it he probably would not make it look like that!
