Turns out it was real, his real autograph really is pretty bad. Not nearly as nice the one on your fake.

Years ago when I started my blog, one of my favorite things to collect were sports busts. I still have that collection and Taylor is part of it. Here's a link to my 1992 Classic card and what I had to say about him...<br /><br />http://sanjosefuji.blogspot.com/2010/06/pc-addition-sports-card-bust-13-brien.html<br /><br />As for your card, it doesn't surprise me that someone went out of their way to create a counterfeit of Taylor. He was one of the biggest names in the hobby for a brief period and there's always people out there looking for an easy buck. I'm sure there are more than a handful of counterfeit autographs in my collection as well. One of my readers pointed out that my two signed 1987 Topps Ozzie Smith cards were actually stamped. I was so bummed out. On a positive note, it's better to know than not to know (well... at least it is for me).Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673889727117377790.post-9414976649876133912017-01-21T12:17:29.273-08:002017-01-21T12:17:29.273-08:00Yeah, I was shocked and severely disappointed to f...Yeah, I was shocked and severely disappointed to find out it was a fake.

Makes me more curious to know about this particular card's history.
