Odd. I see no mention or photo of the COA. But what an incredibly lazy ebay listing when the seller can't be bothered to rotate the photo.

I actually do know a little about scoreboard COAs. I sold this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190... not to long ago. Scoreboard was one of the leading authenticators in the 90's but was pushed out by a few things. 1 all the big players came in and eventually developed holo authentication. Scoreboard did not do this. 2 scoreboard invested most of their interest in baseball and with the death of baseball so went the company. I could be wrong and i am sure a little research would go along way. Scoreboard COA's look like a little bit bigger then a business card stock paper.

I emailed the seller who stated it was scoreboard. Although the autograph looks real im a little concerned no feedback and the person said they had more than one Sandy Koufax signed. It looks very convincing but I think I am going to go with my gut.

Hey, you might wasn't to check out this old thread, where we discussed what we remembered of Scoreboard. In their prime, Scoreboard was an excellent source of authentic sports autographs and one of the trusted names in the hobby. The big problem was their terrible, easy to duplicate COA's.

The signature looks good. I have a jersey, helmet, home plate, two 8x10's, 5 16x20's, and one ball signed by Koufax. They all look like this one. I agree that Scoreboard didn't instill confidence because of their easily replicated COA's, especially with Dimaggio, but this one seems to be the real deal.
