Autograph Authentication
Crown Verified
Crown Authentication's ink examination of this 1990 Upper Deck card number 706, signed by Chuck McElroy, confirms the presence of a live ink autograph applied directly to the card surface. The signature, rendered in gold metallic ink across the lower portion of the card face, displays characteristic stroke-crossing darkening and measurable variation in ink pressure and density throughout its execution — physical indicators consistent with a genuine hand-signed specimen. The autograph presents in a bold, flowing cursive style with confident letterform construction and no indication of mechanical or facsimile reproduction. Crown Grading assigns this autograph a passing authentication determination based on the totality of the physical evidence observed.
