You can never really tell. Sometimes when you get a players autograph in real life they are standing in akward positions and such, and their sig won't come out the way that it looks on their cards. I've seen this on a lot of my hockey autos.

I have to agree with Big Al...
My experience with two athletes gave me two distinct autographs. I have a Jeter/Martinez/Posada/Williams/Rivera auto that was signed in a UD signing session. The Jeter auto is EXQUISITE... I got his AU this past year on a ticket stub and is totally different...
Eric Lindros is another person, I have his autograph from a Ranger fan meet when he was doing fast signing and he kinda scribbled "Eric Lindr-----s," meanwhile I have an AU on a puck from when he was a Flyer at an auto session at a mall in NJ, it is perfect script with "Eric Lindros Philly Flyers"
Part of the reason why I hesitate to buy autos is because of possible fraud.. Right now I'm waiting to send in a 1994 All Star Game Baseball Autographed by Ken Griffey Jr. to be certified. I have the original COA, but the company has since went out of business due to the owners death, and I'd rather have a PSA authentication, even though they will be removing the vacuum-cellophane wrapper (argh!)... I'm 99.9% sure the AU is real, but I need the verification so if I do end up selling it, I have "REAL" proof.

The seller said it comes with a COA.

Yeah, but it's a COA from his own company.

Looks nothing like my Ortiz auto, and I've compared mine with a number of PSA/TriStar authentic autos even though I have one of the "autos from own company" but I did some heavy comparison before I bought mine.

I'd say no because of the time in which it was signed. Ortiz's auto is much simpler that that on newer cards.

Ortiz's auto has been simple for a few years now actually.
