in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
I just got Kirilenko's autograph at the hotel here and I have no clue what it says. I shoulda asked him, but does anyone have an idea?

I know this much.. it appears to say

M *something* 47
AK 47



"There is a reason hidden behind everything we do in life" - Me
"We always strive toward perfection, even though we can never achieve it"
"Joy wouldn't feel so good if it weren't for Pain."

    you have his autograph too?


    I gotta find out what this says, cuz it's not just his name. And it appears there are no certified autographs of him.

    I have the answers...

    Kirilenko signs his last name first and his first name last. Confusing huh! When he signs his first name (Andrei) he makes an A and then circles it. That's his first name but when he signs it comes after Kirilenko. Then below he draws a crooked arrow to the number 47.

    He has no certified autos yet. Hope this helps. I think it's one cool looking auto though.

    so what is the M ? I think I'll scan the autograph and show you if need be, but he did sign 47 on there twice.

    But that info does help, kinda looks like Kirilenko first.. before there is an M word before that unless his K's look like M's

    The "M" at the beginning of his last name actually looks similar to the Russian letter for "L". I looked up a Russian keyboard translator and this looks similar to the Russian letter for L. So on his last name Kirilenko he has moved the L towards the front.

    why would he scramble the letters in his name..

    So it says, according to you...

    Kirilenko 47
    AK 47

    ?

    I'll scan it in later...

    Unless he has changed his signature in the past couple weeks then this is what is should say...

    Kirilenko Andrei
    ---> 47

    His last name first with the L towards the front. His first name last with an A circled and a line following the circle. Then a crooked arrow towards his jersey number 47. I know what his sig. looks like. I have 4 auto's of him.

    Yep...that's it. It looks like he has added the AK 47 nickname below his normal signature. Pretty sweet looking. I want it. lol. That's the first auto of him I've seen with the new addition of his nickname below. Very nice looking. Congrats.

    I think AK-47 is the hottest nickname in the league. lol
    I have always thought it was cool. I gotta say that I like Greg Ostertag's nickname too...

    I've got his Upper Deck rookie card signed, he added the AK 47 as well... might consider offers for other autographs I don't have. I have no list though of ones I need, but off the top of my head I know I need Giricek, Tony Parker, Steve Francis, and a quite a few others...
