Has your autograph changed?
Derek Jeter: "No, I think it’s pretty much the same. It’s probably a little different than when I was in high school, but pretty much the same over the years." Actually, maybe Chris, Richard, or someone else can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Jeter's last major change to his autograph happened from AA Greensboro to now. |

Chris really knows Jeter, I am sure he will answer you.

It's changed.
It is considerably more expensive.

I didn't see a signature in that article that was legible, and that someone who knew nothing about the sport or hobby could tell you what the guys name was, unlike ted williams, other autographs of yesteryear where they cared to give you a readable signature.

Take a look at Santana's, Travis. It's beautiful.

"And then my signature was starting to look like my autograph, so I had to change those up..."--Curtis Granderson
WTF? These guys invent a little doodle, and call it their "autograph." But it's not the way they "really" sign their names. As John Lennon famously said, "Nothing is real." |

the rest are scribbles. |

But his autograph is god-awful. As a collector, I find it so much harder to spring for an autographed item when the sig is an ugly mess. Probably why I have about 20 Mariano Riveras and zero Curtis Grandersons. And yes, the Johann Santana sig is a thing of refinement and beauty.

A-Rod had a really nice autograph in the minors and rookie year. Very legible, could ready every letter, he still signs like that now, usually with Steiner

I thought the first time autographs were nice. "You're no Cal Ripken"
