Karl Malone & David Robinson Auto Question
I have come across the following card for sale and was wondering if anyone knows about its potential authenticity. I am normally very leery about Score Board autographs. However both autographs look pretty good to me, though I haven't done a super thorough investigation yet. I wanted to get the opinion of others here as to what they think.

I have seen this card on the bay. The seller currently has a TON of autographed cards claiming to be from either Score Board or Skybox. According to him most of the cards from skybox were a supposed redemption or buyback program that was never released due to bankruptcy.
To be honest I doubt about the authenticity of the cards. Mainly because of the large amount the seller has for sale, and secondly because I have never seen any of those cards before. A stamp or seal is not that difficult to forfeit now a days and the fact that they are from non-existing companies only is, again, dubious.

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't even checked the seller's other items yet. You are absolutely correct about the ease of making a forged stamp, which is why I was leery. Judging by the volume of cards the seller has and the fact that they are all starting at $0.99 without reserve, definitely gives me a bad feeling. If he knew they were legit he would definitely had sent them to JSA for authentication and be able to get a TON more for them. Oh well, as the saying goes, "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't".
