I get the crappy autographs

by Jgamble - 103 cards (Last updated on Nov 15, 2022)



81. 2020 Bowman Platinum - Top Prospect Autographs #TOP-31 Bo Naylor


Cleveland picked this guy up in the first round of the 2018 draft and... I can't wait for him to get to the bigs so the scoreboard can flash a big ol' nasty "NAYLED HIM" whenever he throws out a runner.

Auto looks like...well there's a B...maybe a traffic cone...what looks like a dachshund..whatever it's bedtime.


82. 2020 Bowman Platinum - Top Prospect Autographs #TOP-100 Matt Wallner


He was drafted by the Twins and then went to college to avoid the Twins morass, but then wound up being drafted again by the Twins. Poor guy.

Auto looks like "Wittle Wall"


84. 2020 Bowman's Best - Best of 2020 Autographs #B20-TS Tarik Skubal


Wow, drafted twice! Rejected the D-backs, but was like, yep, Detroit's where I want to be. Spent 2018 dropping trains on batters across three levels of pro-ball. So it's safe to say Tarik has peaked.

Auto looks like someone tried to draw a dollar bill without having ever seen one.


85. 2020 Panini Elite Extra Edition - Signatures #128 Joey Wiemer


So this guy looks like Scut Farkas from "A Christmas Story," but I'd rather bring up that gigantic rotting sliced onion background. Panini, what is you doin.

Auto looks like "Jolly Warmer"


86. 2020 Stadium Club Chrome - Autographs #CAAB Abraham Toro


5th round pick of the Astros in 2016. He is fluent in English, Spanish and French. So he probably knows how to say "washout" in all three languages.

Auto looks like...Topps told him he only had one pen to sign 400,000 of these cards, so conserve ink.


88. 2020 Topps Archives - Fan Favorites Autographs #FFA-JS John Stearns


13th round pick of the A's in 1969 (and Phillies 1st rounder in 1973) which makes him the only non-Red Sox or Astros picked player in my autograph collection. If I had to predict a career trajectory for this bad dude, I'd guess he'd be all football style and try to injure people like Bill Gullickson or drunk fans.

Auto looks like "Jit 8tro."


89. 2020 Topps Gallery - Autographs #44 Colin Moran


Just what a weird looking card. Topps gallery already looks like 4th graders drew these on no sleep and with no reference, but combine that with this hideous throwback debacle of a uniform and we wind up with just a complete garbage card.

Auto looks like "Cill"


90. 2020 Topps Gallery - Master & Apprentice Orange #MA-8 Clayton Kershaw / Walker Buehler


Not an autograph, but I am too stupid to figure out how to remove cards from lists. So this is here forever.

Steve Hammond must have been listening to a Conway Twitty record when he signed his name.  Best list I've read in a while.  I almost want to buy some cheap scrub autos and mail them to you, just to read your evaluations .

@switzr1 I'd take them. That would be fun. 

@C2Cigars That's cool for him! Glad he's teaching.

‘Auto looks like a Ross Perot self portriat’ I did literally laugh out loud, and my wife looked at me and rolled her eyes 😆

Dude, I think Eddie Rosario read your preseason comments and decided to play himself off your list.  Currently leading the American League in home runs, as of May 10. And it's all because of you!!

This list made me laugh more than a few times.  :D

Hahaha .. I like this list... The part I like most is the last portion of each comment where it says "Auto looks like .... "  ... Some of those are funny.

Fun list. In all seriousness, I'd be interested in any of the Houston ones, if you've still got them. I can send you some more flameouts for the list if you like.

Yes, that vrooomed's autograph is absolutely terrible. Even a drunk chicken with a pen in it's claw could do a better job! Even the military wouldn't draft that asthmatic candy-[ahem]. So, no, he was never drafted. Drafty, many times.

#49 in your list reminded me of an AUTO I once pulled from one of those $5 dollar Walgreens 100-card packs of random cards that guarantees a "hit" (an AUTO) in 1 out of every 4 packs. I pulled a bumb who was a former prospect of the Angels named Chevy Clarke. His Auto looks sort of like an inverted bow and arrow. The Auto I pulled was this one from 2010 Donruss Elite Extra Edition, what a bumb: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Donruss-Elite-2-Card-Chevez-Chevy-Clarke-Auto-Autograph-Lot/143231950253?hash=item21594a1dad:g:l84AAOSwN3lcxeiB:sc:USPSFirstClass!72205!US!-1

Your style of humor in this list makes me laugh.  You got jokes, Gambler!

I bet buying those crappy 100 card cheap boxes from BigLots or Walgreens really helped with adding to this list!

Gotta get back to some trading today, but reading through the first 10 was a riot.  Will have to come back and read through the rest...too much fun!

Some of these got a chuckle out of me.. 

Orlando Cabrera was an Undrafted Free Agent in 1993.. 

I would have loved to get that Vidro.. 

Instead I get some random guy who never made it anywhere in Seattle or Laz Diaz... lol
