I bought this Alonzo Morning Autograph in the 90's from HSN or QVC during one of their specials. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but I am wondering if anyone is familiar with it and could you give me an estimate on what you think it is worth.

It's a buy back.

Most of the time, I've seen it being a company that buys their own cards (you won't see a Topps buy back in a UD product). I find it odd that Score Board would have used an SP card. 3,850+ diff Pistons cards
I think card companies keep a few extra cards laying around, have them signed, and re-release them in packs.. easier to do this than have the company buy their own cards back. Safer too, no chance of card being dinged exchanging all those hands.
That is an interesting ZO card. I'm glad it was a UD card & not a scoreboard. I dislike scoreboard cards!

That is not a buyback, scoreboard cannot "buy back" a UD auto a re-release the cards in pack or redemtion. That card was probably signed for HSN and Scoreboard. The auto looks good, I doubt it is fake.
Scoreboard has a good name and reputation with third party authenticators like JSA and PSA. But, the card with just the current COA only would not bring as much as one with PSA or JSA authentication. This autographed version of this card won't show up in the Beckett database and if there is a buy back auto like this from UD, the hand numbered print run would also be much lower. That card or any Zo buy back auto from UD, probably wouldn't be a good card to compare it to anyway.
The auto looks real, but be careful about anything with ken goldin's name on it. He is as slimy as they come.
