TTM Success (sort of): Tommy John

I'm starting to get a little discouraged about the lack of spring training TTM successes rolling in, although I shouldn't be. That's the trend the past few years. It's really sad how ST used to be a goldmine for TTM successes, but now it's about as tough as sending to Big League Stadiums. I blame the internet.

Anyways, a non-ST TTM "success" came back yesterday. Success is in quotes because I don't think this signature is authentic. I'm not sure if it's the consistent start/stops with the pen marks or what (autopen or machine, maybe?), but it just reeks of "fake".
It also came with a note saying that he charges $20, yet the card was signed in pen. So if I sent $20, the card would be signed in Sharpie? Also note the difference in the "T" in the signature on the note versus the one on the card.
I don't really get it, but all signs point to this being inauthentic. Some have said his ex-wife signs his mail, which would be really weird.

I'll still put it in my TTM binder because I don't know for sure, but I'm never going to be sold on this one. Oh well! No big deal.
