Unlike a postcard or envelope that went through the mails, the postmark on something like this isn't something that would exclude a signature from being real. On these, the signature should be judged on its own.
I bought a few covers from Elten Schilers collection at a stamp show, and some of the all star game "covers" were unusual to say the least. But he was a Padres employee and collected Stamps and autographs.
The combination is unusual, I'm not sure I'd consider combining those two players.

Thanks for clarifying. That is a weird combination though. I can see collecting stamps but why years after getting it signed?
