holy bat poop.. those Ford cards must be worth a fortune..

nice one, so what was the question? are you concerned about the authenticity of the Fisher becasue the autograph crosses the sticker?

Yes, that's my question, what do you need help with? The Fisher looks a lot like the sample that was used by Topps in their advertising before the set was released.

Yes the question is ... I purchased it on Ebay and don't think it is legit because the Auto is past the sticker . I hope it is but ...... What do you all think ?

Hi Stargaterules,

The same thing happened to me two years ago. I purchased a Carrie Fisher card on e-bay and didn't realize the signature went off the sticker until I had the card in hand. I believe the card is an actual Topps card signed by Carrie Fisher, but is not pack pulled. See this thread here . Dan Carleton

Ya I bought the Fisher a couple years ago . Without telling the name of the person , I will say it was from the UK on Ebay . It was my first sticker auto and i didn't know they signed stickers not the card with sticker . It with all my costly auto's are kept in a bank vault box . When i took it out a few weeks ago I got pretty depressed thinking it wasn't real .

Your Fisher card is 100% authentic. If memory serves, some of these cards were signed by Carrie at the founder of Coolwaters offices in LA - think his name is Maki? The stickers were already applied, hence the overlap of the ink onto the card. Maki gets a lot of autos done for Topps and receives an amount of auto cards as part payment which he then sells on the Bay, usually. Similar to artist return cards, they are never inserted into packs. I bought an Alfred Molina from the Indy set direct from him which also was not pack inserted.

Nice Fords by the way! Very envious Smile

Interesting Fisher card. There was a history of quite a few high end autos getting signed as commission or outside the pack process in Star Wars. That autograph looks 100% genuine, have had many Fisher autos over the years.

Strange how the side of the C does not overlap.

Good spot and Strange anomaly with the signature running off the sticker in other places. As Goldfish says, looks legit enough though.

Those 30th Anniversary autos are some of the few cards where shiny silver stickers looked quite nice.

I like that this thread has been bumped, that Indiana Jones Harrison Ford auto is one hell of a card.

Yup, they are nice. I had to settle for one of the Pop Century ones. Just cant see paying the Star Wars or Indy prices. I might do an Enders Game if I catch it on the right day. Cool
