Aaron Judge - Fanatics

Need an educated opinion on this -

Got an eBay Aaron Judge with a Fanatics label on it. Hopefully someone has knowledge of Fanatics labels - I don’t have the best opinion of them and know there can be low quality control with their stuff.

The sticker is a hologram and the cert number registers on their website as a Judge. I’m questioning the sticker though because the QR code isn’t cleanly printed and my phone will not read it. Additionally, the red Fanatics symbol to the left of the word “Fanatics” is lower than what I see on other examples of this style label. Most of them, the F logo hits the bottom of the white part of the top left.

apart from the label - I noticed something on the actual signature that I have never seen and am wondering if this is typical or an indication of some sort of duplication method (autopen etc). There seem to be lines next to the signature that don’t look like part of the pen stroke.

I understand there will be the recommendation not to purchase on eBay etc. but if you could kindly take a look and give your opinion it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Steve - Any thoughts on those lines on the Judge photo I posted?

I don't know Aaron Judge's autograph well. But Terrier8HOF is rarely wrong when he gives an authenticity opinion, and virtually never on baseball. If he says the Judge is not real you can take that to the bank.
