He doesnt put the E alot of times . When he was with the Astros his autograph became real sloppy at one point and abbreviated ( I guess thats what you would call it ) . His autofraph has changed through the years . But this one looks authentic and the A is on point . Also I attached a steiner signed ball with the missing E at the end.

This signature of Andy Pettitte is an early signature of his and is AUTHENTIC as is the PSA/DNA coa. This longer version of the PSA/DNA coa hasn't been used in probably 5 years now so that signature is defiantly prior to that. As for the Derek Jeter that this same seller has listed, that is also AUTHENTIC and is consistent to the way Jeter signs and personalizes.

I have a few in person jeters signed that same way . The Pettite looks fine . Why does the cert card look fake ?
The older style psa cards look a little pre historic to the new ones.

Anthony, they might not have been aware of the older original style PSA/DNA cards, if you look around ebay etc you will see these cards. Cant assume every cert card looks fake. I'd be interested to hear what Tyler has to say about the "swicharoo".

Jason I friended you so I could message you.

I am new and real green to this hobby so this is why I am posting a lot of things that look fishy to me so I can be educated on why things are the way they are. 
I will tell you all though that every signature that I think looks fake or fishy and has been authenticated by a PSA or JSA. It turnes about to be a legit autograph according to people on here. So basically I have been buying items authenticated by these companies from people or dealers who have a good reputation and have not been losing a minutes sleep over the authenticity of the signature/item.

Ill message you my idea/theory when you accept my friend request.
