Suspicious Karl Malone Auto

1993 94 93 94 Fleer Ultra Karl Malone Autograph Auto RARE | eBay

I heard that there is a set of "Career Highlights" of Karl Malone that features his autograph, but the strokes of the autograph from the link above don't look so smooth.
Also, the color of the signature seems to be too bright for an old set (guess that there should be some degree of fading)...possibly someone else trying to imitate The Mailman's autograph?

Its a no brainer, look at the pen pressure.

Seems to be traced, definitely fake

Maybe Cardozo will come in and check it out for you. If anyone knows about Malone autos, my guess would be him.

Or just PM him.

Agreed. Definitely looks like it's been traced to me.

pen pressure... curves are not smooth... even the 32 looks awkward. how can one have a hard time copying the number 32...

Run from it.

Looks bad. It is definitely a fake.

Looks like shaky hand traced over a faded auto

no question...should be pretty obvious.

he even has the back of the card if you couldn't tell by the horrible auto. its '1' -http://www.beckett.com/basketball/1993-94/ultra-karl-malone/1-karl-malone-3058308

all of the auto versions of the cards in this set are numbered 1AU, 2AU, 3AU, etc...there are 8 of them. just like there are 8 base cards numbered 1,2,3...you get it...

I would sign like that only if I'm using my mouse. It is pretty hard to sign without curve.
