Hey CEE GEE.  I was comparing it to these earlier and it actually looks pretty good.  The "T" is crossed much more on David's but otherwise it appears like a good find at a yard sale.  David, did you ask any questions about it before you bought it?

he said the guy he got it from was a big cardinals fan and he "knew it was real".  wish i had a buck for everytime i have heard or seen that saying not come true, lol.

Still has the $49.99 price tag on the back of the frame (yeah its framed too, lol).

It looks like Famous Ink has taken mail orders for Tony when he signs at sports memorabilia conventions.  I saw a pre-order price of $59 on their website.  You may want to try and get in touch with them to ask about your piece but it looks like they have gotten his signature for people in the past and may continue to do so.  I'm not sure how current the information on their website is.  Good luck.

Cee I've been looking at this signature a few times. Something doesn't look right about it. I think the slant is off. And the letter formation in his last name seems off.

For sake of comparison - I got this myself at the Cardinals Winter Warm up in January 2006.
