David, since you post something about scribbles and "who cares" just about every time I ask a question like this, I'm pretty sure you DO mean to be insulting.

Well, Ken, you're wrong.

Good, I hope you don't want to be insulting. So why post this so many times? What does it add to anything?

[David Atkatz]

Nothing, I suppose. I didn't realize I was posting many times.

I think the second one is Jose Mesa.

The last one is Miguel Tejada

I hate to tell you with autographs like that there garbage I don't know why anyone would collect them.

[earlywynnfan]

Thanks, guys, Tejada and Mesa it is.

Kevin, thanks for adding absolutely nothing to the thread.

Now there's an intelligent and well thought out attack.

This thread started innocently as someone trying to figure out 3 signed baseballs.

Why the hell don't you guys (you know who you are) start a little "scribbles club" or a "little bitty scribbles thread" and just talk to yourselves for awhile.

Assist or shut the hell up.

Peace, Mike

I don't think it's that collectors actually like the way players are scribbling their sigs...but what are we supposed to do if you want to collect their autographs? Players' signatures (and yes, a generalization fits here) seem to be getting worse and worse every year..but collectors like me still want to collect them. I do miss the era when you can actually identify the players' sigs. Maybe it's because our schools don't teach the art of handwriting anymore.

How does the Jose Mesa look like a scribble? Seriously? That is one of his better examples and is downright smooth.

I've seen folks say Jeter's auto is a mess and all I see is a flowing piece of art every time I see a real Jeter. Cmon. Cool autos.

Peace, Mike

The first one looks like the certified Curt Schilling I have at home.
