Default 1990 Upper Deck 5000 Strikeouts Nolan Ryan Autograph card

The base card without the auto and card with the auto are identical.

How do I know someone didn't add the auto to the base card?

The hologram on the back is different. The unsigned card has a home plate shaped hologram. The auto version has a diamond shaped hologram.

Actually, I am seeing the same hologram on both.

Autograph card with diamond.

Regular card with home plate.

If you see an autographed card with the home plate, it is not pack pulled, but signed after.

Thanks for the help but that is not the card I am referring to.

But for reference, all upper deck heroes autos have a diamond hologram, and each year has a different shape for the base cards. If it doesn't have a diamond hologram, it wasn't the legit copy. In 1990, base cards had the circle hologram (home plate for 1991, and fan shape for 1992), while autos had the diamond.
