What does Topps Certifies Autograph Issue mean? Is it hand signed?

[JWinn]

Not specifically. It just means they guarantee the auto.

Is it Hand written or printed?

Is it Hand written or printed?

The guarantee has always been printed into the card. Never seen a hand written one.

Let's make this simpler, lol.

Topps certifies that the signature on the card is an authentic signature of the stated player. The only thing hand-written is the actual autograph. The card is printed with the guarantee on it, and either the sticker auto is attached or the player then signs it.

Ok. I knew the guarantee was printed. I am just wondering if the auto is printed or hand signed

It's an auto, lol. If it was printed, it would be forgery. Lol.

Just wondering.

You mean, like an autopen autograph?

If it has the Topps Certified Autograph printed on the card, it should be a real autograph.

Some cards have facsimile autos on them, but they wont have the guarantee.

Ok. Thanks for the info everyone.
