I’m trying to verify if this signature is Master Trainer Pat. I had this card signed at either 2000/2001 Origins.

I doubt anyone would fake his signature. Most collectors today likely don’t even know Patrick Swift, aka “Master Trainer Pat”, to begin with. 
His doodle looks the same as the few other examples of his signature I could find:

Thanks for the pictures! I’ve been having trouble finding any other examples other than the blastoise. Do you know where I can find other examples?
Unfortunately not. These were the only two I could find after a quick google search, other than your Sunflora.
The signature of DMTM (Dark Trainer Master Mike, aka Mike Boozer) is a lot easier to find. But autographs of some of the other old WotC judges, employees, etc., including your Patrick Swift, aren’t all too common.
The only reason I even know a tiny bit about them is because I own a Jumbo Base Set Pikachu autographed by a bunch of them (DMTM [Dark Master Trainer Mike] - Mike Boozer; MTM [Master Trainer Mike] - Mike Gills; DM Steven “Meowth” - Steven Kam; BDS [Big Daddy Snorlax] - Richard Walkoski. The other two signatures are from Mitsuhiro Arita and PCL employee Yukinori Torii.)

Oh ok, guess that’s part of why I was having so much trouble finding these. Thanks for the info. Was trying ti decide if I want to grade it for authentication and preservation. Need to think on it
