And who do the players think are buying the cards? I don't care how many they are asked to sign (and I doubt any given player is asked to sign tens of thousands), they are getting paid so much money they should take the time to sign cleanly and legibly.

I mean look at this it's a disgrace.

I would be willing to bet that if you didn't know whose cards they were you couldn't tell who had signed half the autographs out there.
