Not particularly tough, but I always loved the Diamond stars, especially the Lopez. Now, to find a signed Bengough

Sweet Wells. Very clear.

I haven't gotten it returned yet, but this morning I went down to the 30th floor of my building to drop a ball off at the Commissioner's office.
I have to say, executive assistants make the world go round and having a mutual connection with Bud Selig's EA means I don't have to carry a ball and a pen around hoping to run into him in the elevator! :D I'll post a pic when I get it back. EDIT: Well, I got it back already! I timed it perfect as he was in this morning. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...3/BudSelig.jpg |

I have gotten alot of Selig TTM always super fast. I am hoping he doesn't have a ghost signer tho they match his IP nicely. I always wanted to sent to him when I knew he was on a trip to see if it would still come back so quickly but I kind of didn't want to know.

Randy Johnson rookie signed
2 Attachment(s)
I'm very happy to add this 1988 rookie signed 3 x 5 of future HOF Randy Johnson to my collection of no-hit pitcher signatures.
The Big Unit is a perfect example of a player who's signature changed drastically over the years. Compare the rookie version of his signature to the signature that I got IP about 5 years ago that he applied to a ticket to his perfect game in 2004. Quite a difference! |

As always I like to see what you get. It reminds me of when I first made the decision to start my quest.
The toughie is the one I am curious to hear about! |

Just picked up this one solely for the HOF Collection (211)....
|
Are you sure that index card signature is good? I got his autograph a bunch of times between 1990 and 1992 in Seattle and it looks nothing like that. He has definitely changed his signature since that time though, so it could have been markedly different in Montreal.

Ok. That's pretty conclusive. Glad I was wrong.

My Randy Johnson index card was signed in 1988 like the other poster's rookie era card, either in Montreal or in AAA. That's one of the reasons that I posted it here. His signature certainly changed dramatically from his rookie era. Here's one additional example of an amazing signature transformation. Below is, IMHO, future HOF Pedro Martinez's rookie era signature. Compare it to more modern examples and it's totally different. ;) |
That's a very cool Pedro!
|
That's the "other" Pedro Martinez. The guy who had cups of coffee in the bigs over a few seasons, mostly with San Diego. I got Pedro "Future HOFer" Martinez's signature several times and although his "rookie" sigs are much different than the one people know today, it didn't look like that.
I didn't see any IP examples of Pedro A. Martinez, but here's his 1994 UD Collector's Choice Silver Signature variation, which almost exactly resembles the example you posted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-COLLECT...1b#ht_22wt_902 This was the closest I could find on eBay to the rookie sig of Pedro J. Martinez: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pedro-Martin...ht_2809wt_1230 |

Wow! After seeing your posted example of Pedro A. Martinez, I am 100% sure that you are correct about my 3 x 5 "Pedro" being him. I really appreciate you pointing this out, as this is (was) part of my core collection. Time to farm Pedro A. out to the minors... The poor guy can't catch a break- LOL! :p |

It happens a lot, everyone probably knows this already but there were two Jackie Robinsons , two Billy Cox , and two Mike Marshall, all are sometimes mistaken for the other
