I understand the card, I just think it is so ugly. I wish it had been done better. I've debated picking one up, but cant pull the trigger

The card does look cartoonish but it has the nicest signatures of their respective generations. The mick had a lot of competition as there were a lot of nice signatures during his time (teddy ballgame comes to my mind). For Griffey, it’s not even close. His contemporaries almost all had repulsive signatures. Can you imagine seeing the Big Hurt’s chickenscratch next to Mantle’s gorgeous penmanship? Because of the signatures I think it’s one of the most iconic cards of the 90’s.

Who started the chickenscratch thing anyhow? And yes Ted signed beautifully.
