Isn't that signature a piece of crap? I'll fork over $200 for that (not!)

Most Asian players take a bit more pride in their signature than Ichiro. Matsuzaka nearly followed in Suzuki's footsteps with his terrible penmanship. You're looking at $125-250 to have that scribble added to your collectible.

I've only paid big money for an autograph once. It was for this Roberto Clemente rookie year signed baseball. The signature is a little light but its hard to come by a sweet spot Clemente. Dick Groat and Jerry Lynch are on a side panel.

Penmanship is an interesting topic among athletes. I got a big kick out of watching the players exit the court at last year's U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows.
Most just made swipes at programs and such. Last Summer at the St. Jude's Classic in Memphis I noticed most of the golfers took their time and made nice signatures for fans. These posts and those experiences sent me to my folders to see if signatures varied by sport or by generation. Of all my autographs the golfers were by far the best and there also seemed to be a dramatic difference in players in all sports that played their games before 1980. Also right behind the golfers were the football guys. This is a very unscientific study as you might imagine. |
