Best Autos in Baseball

[TBTwinsFan]

The third one cracks me up the most. He had a good auto, then just scribbled all over it for no reason.

WTF???????

A card company actually released that GARBAGE..?????

"BF ny" ????? and did Villalonas' 4 year old cousin sign that for him????? and Blitzerlover is right....the 3rd Signature is pretty nice,
until Angels 4 year old cousin scribbled on it........ I would have been pretty upset if I had pulled that card.

I don't own one, but I think Nolan Ryan has one of the nicest "Sigs" ever put on anything.

Mariano Riveras' is really nice too. I have one of those that I got on a bag in the Alcatraz Gift Shop, when the Yankees were in town to play
the A's a few years back while vacationing with the Family.

You have to realize that a lot of those guys dont have the best schooling.

Don't they only get basic English and Writing before they come to the states? I wouldn't blast the foreign kids too hard on this one.

I'm shocked that Pat Neshek hasn't been mentioned yet. Someone here must have a TTM Neshek they can post!

Have 8 other Neshek TTMs, but this is my favorite.

Probably, but signatures in Spanish look the same as signatures in English.

Not to "Blast" the Kids, but Come on....... I know alot of them grow up playing the game from a young age, like alot of American
Kids.
I know when I was a Kid, Having dreams of someday Playing for the Dodgers, and "Signing" Autographs, I would Practice signing
my name on everything.......Balls, Bats and baseball cards of Players I didn't care about.....Like Giants Players.

I know some of these kids come from small cities, and are sometimes forced to get a Job at a young age, and school is not important.
I didn't mean for my post to come off as a "Blast", just saying I would have been a Little Pissed-off if I had pulled that card.

That's true, I didn't think of the fact that their sigs are the same.

I would always do that too, signing index cards, baseballs, notebooks, over and over and over. I would do it 10 times on the same item... my school notebooks would be full of my signature. I don't do that anymore, but I still think of what it would be like to be famous enough to sign autographs.

I would guess that many aren't familiar with Manny's early 90's (circa 91 and 92) "full" auto, which is a nice one:

Over the past 20 years or so it has migrated to this:

And another penmanship award goes to:

It's also very possible they never learned cursive. They may only have an elementary education, who knows what the schooling is like and where they came from. I bet some of them could even be illiterate.

Also, not really related at all but it bugs me. Does Greg Maddux's auto make any sense to anyone?

More than any sig out there I wonder how Greg Maddux is found in that. I really have wondered about his auto for years. It has seriously stumped me for a while.

When I first got Maddux's sig in person in '95 it baffled me that anyone could write their name like that. Granted, I was 10 at the time and since I saw him write it I knew it was him but I just didnt understand it

 

[jwc9p]

I know I just posted but also wanted to add a few that I got IP this year that I thought were good.....

And the "I dont see a name in there but it looks cool" category Drew Storen:

and my favorite......the great Barry Zito auto ::facepalm::

 

[klute14]

I think that Tom Seaver has a great sig:
