Which idiot at Upper Deck...

[vwnut13]

decided that Nick Swisher's signature looked better upside down?

On all of Nick Swisher's 2008 Heroes autographs they placed the stickers on upside down. What the heck is wrong with them?

2008 Heroes Autograph

There are three of the blue, and a grey on ebay w/upside down stickers

Rightside-up, on-card Masterpieces Autograph

So, either Swisher signed the cards upside down or UpperDeck put the stickers upside down. Which do you think? ::facepalm::

Looks better upside down

You know there is a machine that does this, and if you load it in the machine
upside down (even though you) don't know which way is up, It happens.

Now let's hear that they hire foreign workers to do this job ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

In their defence, that's a horrendous autograph.

Maybe if the player took more time to sign it, someone would be able to figure out which side went up. That might be one of the most horrible signatures I have ever seen. Looks like a two year old scribbled on a sticker. So in this case I blame the lazy player.

He likes to sign his name in arabic.

When Swisher puts a letter that's actually in his name in his autograph (i see an L), then complain.

It looks like he wrote "Ejel"

Exactly.
Not many people (both athletes and us common folk) care about their penmanship anymore.
I know players hate signing thousands of cards and stickers, but when they're getting paid for it, show some damn pride.

No he actaully was signing Elf plan and simple.

Can't blame that on UD...that autograph is crap.

"722" or "EEL"....take your pick..

 

[tramers]

X his Xx sons

 

[LWMM]

He likes to sign his name in arabic.

You know, if you flip his signature horizontally (mirror image) instead of vertically, as Upper Deck did, those actually would be arabic characters, and joined correctly to boot. Not that it would mean anything (nawawak or similar)...

Funny reminds me of when I was younger and cashed my check at the bar
I scribbled my sig and he said i cant read it son right it like a real man
i said thats my sig he said not if you want your money nuff said i signed 2 times ::facepalm::

Got this from an official Upper Deck press release :

"It has been discovered that long time employee Jack Parker, a father of an 8 year old White Sox fan, decided to run Nick Swishers autographs upside down in our Heroes product as a tribute to his son Nathan, who was born on July 22. We at Upper Deck apologize for any inconvenience, and ask for your understanding. We also wonder why you would ask a question like that. Our only assumption is that you are unfamiliar with Upper Deck and our company's lacky of quality control. If we can put Wayne Gretzky's autograph upside down, we can do it to anybody. Thank you for you time, and your future purchases."









Did my fabricated statement come close perhaps? :lol:

I could be wrong, but don't us men typically have crappy signatures as a whole?

 

[craiger122003]

I do but i wanted my money

who frickin cares. you are buying the autograph for who the player is, what he stands for, or what he has accomplished in the game. if you are buying his autograph b/c of the way "it looks" then you are by far in the minority and just....weird...

the guy signs (along with every other famous MLB player) like tens of thousands of autographs per year...i'm surprised more autos from other players are not up to "standard"

In their defence, that's a horrendous autograph.

I do collect White Sox, but the thing that really made me go after this one? His signature looks awesome. I'm in the minority I guess, but really - try and tell me this signature isn't one of the nicer ones of current players...

Broadway, Brian Bannister... love players with great signatures!
