What are your most favorite/least favorite signatures?








Here's mine:


Top 5 Favorite

1. Andruw Jones




2. Chipper Jones




3. Pat Neshek




4. Ken Griffey Jr.




5. Julio Franco





Top 5 Worst

1. Vernand Morrency (I don't collect football but this is just pathetic, and it's also how he does ALL his autographs)




2. Manny Ramirez




3. Miguel Tejada




4. Chris Reitsma (I met him once and thought he had a nice autograph but when he handed me back my team-signed banner I looked at the auto and I'm like "are you kidding me?")




5. Derek Jeter (You gotta give him credit for writing his full name but it just looks too messy)

Harmon Killebrew has a real nice one. Mantle & Babe are nice as well.

Greg Maddux has a real bad one.

Sad. Just sad.

So, when one of the PSA/DNA authenticators gets a photo with this "autograph" on it, how do they know it's real?


It almost remindes me of my signature. I "signed" all of my practice balls when I played HS baseball.

I don't care for Roger Clemens' signature. Mantle and Ted Williams are real nice. Stan Musial is nice.

my sister has a Bobby Hull autograph on a puck.


Bobby shot the puck at my dad who was making a delivery to the old Chicago Stadium and watched a little Blackhawks practice. Dad picked it up and Bobby signed it for him. Wish I had it to show.

Dennis Eckersley always had a great sig, Clemens has one that looks terrible.

Allen

I like Jeters Sig.
Ever notice that if you flip chipper jones auto upside down it looks like it says "Billy"
I like Walter Paytons with the big swoops.

Mantle and Williams

least favorite......anyone from the IRS.

You'd be disappointed if Manny didn't sign his in heiroglyphics, wouldn't you?

Roberto Clemente and Richard Petty have classic signatures.

Glad so many Braves made the "good" list here.

Mantle and Duke Snider both have nice sigs.

Autos that are legible are usually the most attractive.

That Vernand Morency signature is a joke. It's my new least favorite, topping Stanislav Neckar (NHL defenseman, whose signature on his 1994 Classic cards looks just like the wavy line that represents water on ESP tests).

My favorite is Johnny "Blue Moon" Odom. He signs the name with nickname, and even puts quotation marks around the nickname.

Least Favorite------ Not the player but position of sig is hard to see. Did the same on cards #d to /11






Most Favorite------

I'm surprised to see that Barry Bonds was listed by so many as their least favorite. I think he's actually got a pretty nice signature. I wonder if it's more that people don't like Bonds as a player, and less that they don't like his signature.

MooseDog

Barry's "sit down sign for money" sig is actually quite nice. Most people have only seen the the B____B____s form though.

Maybe he doesn't know how to make an "X" ???

Hey, I love the replies with scans - when I have the time later, I'll try to post some scans of my favorites. I agree with one previous post in that Charlie Gehringer has one of the most beautiful autographs ever. One of the worst is most certainly Greg Maddux, I have a baseball of him on display and every person that sees it asks who the heck it is. Both Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris have nice autographs....and come to think of it, Willie Mays may have the ugliest. Early in his career his signature was beautiful, but now it just looks like a scribble (especially the "W"!). That Morrency autograph is definitely the worst I have ever seen, just purely pathetic.

Here are a few photos that I have on file: the signatures I like are the Grant Hill (Check the nice sig on the Emotion card) and the Roger Maris. I will try to post a Gehringer autograph later - beautiful signature.




Great topic!
