1991-92 Pro Set - Autographs Hockey Forum

Came across the 1991 pro set Patrick Roy auto

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/266197738501?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=73Io-vwWTRS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=NpaC42U7RNC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Only problem is the auto listed on this site is silver and serial number only shows number not /1000

This one is gold and has the number/1000

Any help with this card would be great

I cannot find any information regarding a "gold" ink signature. All instances of sold autographed cards are silver ink with single "serial" number on the back (i.e., #998) [1]. Not a signature expert by any means, but almost seems like someone faked his signature in comparison to the silver ones [2, 3, 4]. Here is an instance of "black" ink, but an aftermarket signature [5].

Some additional information via Beckett [6]:
"French wax boxes contained randomly inserted Patrick Roy personally autographed cards signed and numbered on the back; 1,000 of card number 125 (first series) and 1,000 of card number 599 numbered 1001 to 2000 (second series). Roy also signed 500 cards for distribution in Canadian collector's kits."

No mention of ink color, etc. Overall, I do not believe this is a legitimate card.

Thanks only gold Roy auto I have seen is from the collectors kits on the CC card, seemed strange that all pictures I had seen had no /1000

I'll give that amiss unless someone else confirms it's not fake

It could be that cards with a low number (like first 200) are gold, but you'd need to find another example of a sub-200 SN card with Silver to verify.

The best info regarding these autos are here

Well, at that price, I would ask for something better. Maybe if he had it certified or something. If it is just to get a Roy auto, there are available cards way cheaper. If it is to get the rare Pro Set Roy auto, the risk is high with no proof other than the seller sayings and even if it was true, IHMO, the price is on the high end. In comparison, Be A Player has a Gretzky auto in a 200-300 card limited edition (read: 333+% harder to find than the /1000 Roy auto) with a special back different from the base card and it doesn't always sell right away at $700. By the way, the same Be A Player set has a Roy auto and it can be found (with lots of patience) under a $100.

I only collect pro set but found it weird it went against the norm for the silver ones, he has offered $67Cad off but it’s still too pricey for me even if it was what I need
