I just got this beauty for my 1961 collection. I always loved the multi-auto look. I am amazed at how you can fit a full signature in such a little space while also being polite enough not to intrude on the other player's face or space to sign. I wonder how long it took to complete the signing of this card. Tracking down each player must have been a tough task.
Let's see your favorite multi-autos!

Nice! Amazing how 6 signatures could fit so well and not take away from each other. Here are a few of my favorites
Beautiful cards and signatures. Cowboys fan I take it. It's a shame that cursive handwriting isn't taught anymore. Most of the signatures on modern cards are embarrassing.
From my Cardinals collection.....

Wow! Awesome cards guys!
Thanks and welcome to the boards!
Thanks man!
This is a test to see if I can post a picture on the forum. In case it comes out as a link or doesn't come out right at all, its a booklet with autos of Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway, Troy Aikman, Peyton and Eli Manning.
I love multi signed cards. These were a couple of recent returns.
Great cards! Love the vintage hockey.
If we’re including manufactured autos, I have this one. 2 HOFers and serial numbered 1 of 2.

Sorry for the crappy picture but this is the only multi-signed card I own and it comes with a back story.
When I worked for the Cubs in the 80's they needed a few big guys (I was/am 6'4 325 lbs) to trail Pete Rose for security purposes during the weekend in which he was at Wrigley, attempting to break Cobb's record. Along with a co-worker, I had the opportunity to trail Pete from the moment he came into the ball park until the time he left which included dugout areas, clubhouse, field and all places in between yes...bathroom as well. Pete had many death threats that weekend and I guess they wanted a few expendable bullet stoppers around him in the event someone followed through on their plans.
I trailed Pete for three days and he treated me and my co-worker like kings. This experience totally changed my view of him as I thought he was a real piece of crap when I was growing up due to what I saw on television. At the end of the weekend his manager, who I believe was named Whitey, who was involved in the card hobby for years handed me this autographed card as a thank you from Pete. Being a card collector who was under strict instructions to never ask for an autograph, I thought this was a great tip for a job well done.
I really need to get it slabbed for protection purposes only.
Awesome "tip" for sure!
