Help with a Richard Garfield signed card

Post by markers » Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:59 pm

Hey guys

I need your help. I bought a playset of these Beta Swords all signed by Richard Garfield...But the thing is that I've never seen such strange Garfield sigs.

Anybody have an older (>10 years old) sig from Richard Garfield to compare?

I have my doubts but then again some autographs do evolve over time...

Thanks a lot!

I have 2 scans readily available of cards I've had since the 90's with Garfield sigs. The biggest difference I notice is that mine have a printed G, but yours have a cursive G.

Hi Markus

I have added the scans vertically for better visibility. The last one of your Swords, is different from the 3 others. I have added 3 different signatures from different years.

Sigs look legit to my eye. Guessing just variation from a different signing period that is seen from many artists.

Thanks guys.

I queried the seller about the card on the right. That sig looks completely off...
