Caminiti sure changed his autograph. His cert autos look nothing like the early autos of his.

This was my thought when I saw waxheaven's cert, too. Either that, or he didn't sign those certs himself...

Re: Topps card makes it on UD Legendary Cuts auto card

Out of curiosity from a legal/trademark issue, can Upper Deck buy back its competitors products, who have property/trademark rights to those cards, and then cut them up and use/market them in new Upper Deck products.....

I am sorry but that just seems like a pretty cheap gimmick, one that I dont think Topps would ever do, and if I was Upper Deck, one that I would not want to ever do, because in essence, they are advertising the Topps card....

Yeah. I searched his autos on Ebay and he signed for 96-98 Donruss/Leaf sig and his certs all look like waxheavens. Then look at psadna ones and those look like the cut auto that UD used.
Either he changed his sig a lot of something is fishy going on with his certs. Has this topic ever been brought up before. You would think the difference has been noticed before. Maybe the resident Astros autograph expert will look into this. I have never collected any of his autos.

The sad thing is, that looks like a Caminiti rookie card and they mutilated it for that cut...ugh.

I strongly lean on the fact the cards on the 1988 Topps was signed in the late 1980s and is an early signature variation of his autograph.

Like other ballplayers, Caminiti had an opportunity to change his autograph from the time they were young players, to what you see his autograph has evolved to [in the mid 1990s].

Yeah, most likely this is what happened.

Those two signatures are certainly very different, but they display similar phrasing and angular momentum. I say it's just a good early signature.
