Gotta say, as far as autographs go, my favorite are Joe Burrow's JoeyB & JJ McCarthy's JJ Smiley face

The reason you can't read the autograph is the no longer teach how to write cursive or script anymore in our public schooKids now don't know how to even write their names anymore.

Will Sell, buy, trade Leave a message of what you may be looking for and I'll let you know if I have it in my collection. I'm mainly interest in baseball card from the 50's- early 80's, willing to trade or sell newer cards or current cards for my wanted years.

These players are often given a stack of hundreds of cards to sign at a time for just one set so I don't blame them for the less than perfect handwriting

Thank you! Sheets upon sheets of autograph stickers at a time. I did some math one time when a Zach Ertz card came up and the usual round of signature bashing came about.

Don't blame the athlete. Blame the card companies. And, for what it's worth - I was born in 1994. I was taught cursive in third grade. Farmer was born in 1990. I'm sure he was taught proper cursive. I'm sure he has a proper signature that he uses when signing a check (do people still do that?) or a document. But thousands of trading card stickers? No way.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.
