✍️ Autograph Authentication Crown Verified
This card carries a blue marker autograph from artist Mark Pingitore, signed vertically along the right side of the artwork, over the Ward Hog figure. The signature flows in one quick motion with a thinning exit stroke, and the ink sits on top of the printed sticker. Crown Grading compared it with known Pingitore signatures, and Crown staff reviewed and approved it, so Crown Grading authenticates this autograph as genuine.
