Card Identification Forum

Has anyone seen this before? Even this particular card? We know what it is, I've been looking and feel that since I haven't seen anything like it I have to ask. 

There are currently 13 copies listed for sale on COMC with an autograph on both sides of the card.

Should we include this as a variation?

I'm guessing that you are asking about it b/c it is AU'd on both sides. NOT a 1/1! This has actually been pretty common with young athletes and even the retired athletes that aren't sure where to sign the card when it is sent to them. Dual-sided AU cards was pretty common due to language and age barriers contributing to this "issue" before the "sticker AU" was common-place! I'm almost surprised this isn't showing up more often on MLB cards. The dual-signed cards were becoming a common thing in NASCAR with retired vet's signing cards on both sides. The constant "sticker" for an AU the past several years is also confusing athletes. When a card arrives to be signed, they aren't sure where they need to sign it.

I'd say not a VAR.  More in the line of an altered card.  If these types were included as VARs how would you know if it came out of a pack or someone took the card to a show and had them signed a second time (with same pen/ink).
