Help with Nolan Ryan authenticity

[indymovieman]

I know there has been some heated debates the past couple of years about the authenticity of the cards/photos Nolan Ryan sends out TTM. Does anyone know his signing habits in the early 90s? I wrote him a letter back in the early 90s when he played for Texas. I sent him a couple of cards and those were returned unsigned...however, he did include this black and white photo. The actual pic he sent is crisper than the scan...I enhanced it for the detail on the autograph when I scanned it. It is definitely not a pre-print. Either autopen or authentic. Any info/opinions? Thanks for the help!

From 1990 and after ... anything you TTM to Ryan wont get signed unless you send a donation.

Your card is an autopen!

I got this card thru the mail back in the late '70s and had been holding on to it all this time only to find out just recently that a batboy had signed it.
