1996-97 Score Board All Sport PPF Multi-Sport Forum

Hi all,

just stumbled across this Olajuwon auto which appears to have the same image as his base card in this set (#82)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hakeem-Olajuwon-Scoreboard-Auto-on-Card-Autograph-RARE-Card-Houston-Rockets/263518700861?hash=item3d5af0453d:g:ZKEAAOSwXfVak6OM

I thought it was just an in-person autoi but then it has the "Scoreboard Authentication" stamp in the bottom left corner.

Does anyone know anything about these cards/how they were released assuming it is not an in person auto?

I seem to remember the company folded a few years after this and a lot of blank "authenticated" auto cards went out the back door that then had fake autos added (I believe I have a Duncan somewhere that fits this bill). Is it possible this one could be from a similar origin?

Any insights are much appreciated.

Thanks,

David

I looked at a lot of Olajuwon autographs and compared to the ebay card.  IMO, it just doesn't look authentic.

Thanks @C2Cigars.

I am never great on trying to compare autographs (especially given that players seem to change them significantly over the course of their careers...) but this one does look to not have the usual tail on the middle line in the H and the O is definitely "funky" among other things.

You are likely on to something there.
