Cliff Lee Possible Success?! (Philadelphia Phillies)

[redsox787]

On February 25th I sent out a LOR an 8x10 and a SASE to the Phillies Spring Training Facility and on May 7th I received my photo back unsigned but a postcard/statcard from Cliff Lee and a letter stating that he's too busy to sign everything that gets sent to him but hopes that I enjoy the signed card instead. Upon first glance I believe this is a preprint but not 100% sure. The thing that has me questioning it is why would it be somewhat a faded signature at the beginning if it was a preprint. I would definitely like people's comments on authenticity on this one! The return address was the Phillies home stadium in Philadelphia.

I looked at the picture up-close and its hard to tell. Was it signed in pen or sharpie? It could be stamped, as it usually fades sometimes along the signature, but I could be wrong. It's best to find out if you can find someone who had the same success to compare it to.

Im usually pretty good at tell the difference but this one is hard for me....also I've tried searching online and found no cliff lee stat cards at all...I even checked ebay seeing if anyone was trying to resell any

It looks really good, hopefully it's real. You should get a magnifying glass and look close. You'll be able to tell if it's real by the beginning and ending streaks, and also there will be a darker spots where the pen first touched the paper. I'm going to see Halladay now and Cliff Lee tomorrow! Go Phillies

It's a very fluid signature with no real start or end dots like a traditional AP but if you flip the card over doesn't show signs of pen pressure indentation which is leading to my confusion
