So a dealer spends big bucks to get these guys to sign a ton of photos back in the 90s -- earlier for Maris and Martin. It makes total sense they would use 5x7 inkjet photos.

I have quite a few of those that I purchased from AtAuction.

The forgeries are so bad, that the shipping cost more than the forged autograph.

All on inkjet paper.
