I didn't see any IP examples of Pedro A. Martinez, but here's his 1994 UD Collector's Choice Silver Signature variation, which almost exactly resembles the example you posted.

This was the closest I could find on eBay to the rookie sig of Pedro J. Martinez:

Hi Derek,
Wow! After seeing your posted example of Pedro A. Martinez, I am 100% sure that you are correct about my 3 x 5 "Pedro" being him.

I really appreciate you pointing this out, as this is (was) part of my core collection. Time to farm Pedro A. out to the minors...

The poor guy can't catch a break- LOL!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If it's any consolation, Pedro A. isn't an exactly common signature, so it's still a neat 3x5 to own. And he was quite accustomed to being farmed out throughout his career so I'm sure he understands!
