Re: Special Altered Art Card Signed..BUY IT KNOW.

Post by mintcollector » Mon Dec 29, 2003 9:27 pm

Anyone else notice that the Wombat and Orb cards have differing handwriting on it?  One of these is a fake.  The printing done by the modifier is different.  Anyone ever get a Garfield sig in person that can verify the validity of which one is real?  I have only seen Dr. Garfield once and was watching him play MTG against a teenager in a side conference room at the Chicago Comicon.

The signatures look very similar to me.  The only difference is the "G" in Garfield.

I am not arguing the signatures are different, but the actually modified text is different.  The Wombat and Orb have differences on that.  What I am trying to get at is did somebody hand write changes after Dr. Garfield signed the cards?

Hi Mike.
The card is a genuine Garfield original from the collection of noted game designer John Goff.

So the printing on the Orb is different.  This means that if your card is real, the Orb mod is not.  Or in other words, the mod was done by someone else besides Dr. Garfield.
