I could not find this card on beckett.com
Therefore, I don't think it is a certified autograph from packs. Did you get it signed yourself? What is the embossing on the corner of the card say? Maybe if you can scan in the back, I can figure out what your card is.

This is a 1992/93 Topps Hakeem Olajuwon card. However, it is not a certified autograph from Topps. I don't think they inserted autographs back then.
If the embossing says Scoreboard, it is very controversial. There are 2 possibilities:
1. This was autographed at a private signing by Scoreboard (not affiliated with Topps). ie. LEGIT.
2. There are stories on the net about how people bought Scoreboard embossers after SB went bankrupt. So they cranked up the forgeries. ie. FAKE.
It's really hard to say.

is there anyway it could be a buyback... or are all of those numbered?

It's not listed as a buyback anywhere on Beckett.com. The auto doesn't look authentic to me. It could have been signed in person quickly and later stamped with the SB stamp. Either way, I'm fairly certain it's a fake. The only way to know for certain would be to have it authenticated by PSA/DNA. Good luck with whatever you decide.
