Post Your Favorite Autograph

I really enjoyed the favorite card thread, thought it would be fun to see everyone's favorite autograph. I grew up a huge fan of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, as a teenager I thought there would be nothing greater than owning a Lew Alcindor autograph. A few years ago at the National I found one that I just couldn't pass up. It's a 7x9 photo of Big Lew and one of his UCLA classmates, personalized and signed in black grease pencil. It's as bold and clear an Alcindor autograph as I've found. The photo is faded from years of sunlight, but I love it.

    I have 2 that is tied for my favorite. I can post this 2001 Topps Traded Albert Pujols now. I will have to wait until I get home to post my 1986 Sports Illustrated cover signed by Michael Jordan. It is authenticated and witnessed by Upper Deck.

    Wish I could post mine. It's a proset tom Landry card from the super bowl sets they did. I got it autoed in person back in the 90s. I sent it off on the last group sub to PSA to get authenticated and slabbed. I was Leary of sending it off anyways because it's very special to me. With everything going on, reality has set in that I may not see it again for a year.

    Not heavy hitters, however really like the duel graded

    Always one for mixing it up! This was purchased while I was in college shortly after the comic was released. Bought of an old bulletin board system that required me to mail a money order before receiving the signed comic.

    This is another item that I am proud to have in my collection. One cool thing about the 1961 Manny’s photo is it is actually a shot of Mickey in early 1951 as evidenced by the 6 on his back. The signature is clean and beautiful and while I don’t know that it will last forever it is at the moment the highest graded example of the select few 1961 Manny’s that have been submitted since they were made eligible for grading through the Jumbo holder. While it looks like it is a 6 or possibly a 7, the grade is 100% accurate; the squiggle above the bat center is a small crease.

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    So much goodness in this thread.

    This one, I got in person and its probably one of the cleanest Jeter autographs I have seen. I sent it to PSA shortly after.

    I'm not really much of a collector of modern players, but I was fortunate enough to meet Travis Kelce last year. He signed numerous items for me and specifically asked where on the card to sign and with what color sharpie. It was an awesome experience and he is one of the coolest people I've ever met.

    This one is my favorite of the lot. It is a 1/1 Flawless with a diamond in the card. He also signed 5 other 1/1 cards for me that I was surprised to be able to purchase on eBay for such reasonable prices prior to getting them signed. I grew up as a Bills fan, but I was for sure cheering for the Chiefs to win it all last season.

    Here is my 2fer. Both signed at the same time circa 1983, yet one has had a little more experience. Long story behind them, definitely pc for life
