Here is a card I have had for 30 years or so. I bought it from a dealer--signature already on it--back when Nolan Ryan was my favorite player but before his cards really took off in the hobby.
Because I bought it from a dealer (yes, commence lecture now...), I always presumed the autograph was authentic. But since there is such expertise in this forum I thought it would be worth getting other opinions.
The only caveat I'll offer is that the signature would have been applied before 1984 or so...so if Ryan the HOFer now has a different and hurried signature, that might not be the best comparison.
Thanks in advance for any help!
