Are These Signatures Legitimate?

Post by notsofasteddie » Thu Dec 01, 2005 7:17 pm

There are some signed cards from Alpha that are currently at auction on Ebay. Some of these are Amy Weber cards. While the seller has a pretty good reputation, I have never seen an Amy Weber signature that looked like what I'm seeing on these cards. Do any of you have cards signed by her that look like the autographs on the cards listed below?

I guess the answer lies in the Black Lotus also being offered here by the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... _Stores_IT which certainly does NOT look like Rush's normal signature.

She has a very stylized autograph right now, which is probably something she developed over time (And after signing hundreds of cards). If these cards were signed early on in her career, it wouldn't be unrealistic to think that she hadn't developed her new autograph.

I think she's reachable online. She even sells under the name Orion something sometimes.

I have seen several Chris Rush signed cards with the exact signature that is on this Lotus. Most of them were from the very early days of the game. I would not be at all surprised if Amy Weber developed her "star A" signature over time from signing many cards.

I have also bought cards from these people in the past and they have always delivered the goods.

Hi Enrico.
I have the same signature like that many times especially on A.P.,and mine comes from C.Rush Personal collection,so no doubt about Authenticity.Signature are very subjective,as let's say as an example that on a Drunk signing day,the Artist signature will differ from slightly to extreme,etc....I will check onto the others Artists as well.

I hope she grabbed a pint at her local pub, sent her some money to have a drink on me--though I think she said on her website she is more of a starbucks gal. I have a pretty solid autograph collection--and try to make scans whenever someone needs to authenticate something.
