Gotta bump this thread back up with some laughs about some lazy autograph signers!

This article reminds me of when I was chasing a Greg Maddux autograph for my best friend, and when I finally got an IP card, thought that my then-2 year old daughter could have written better!



So I found a funny article of 50 of the most rushed autograph cards of all time, heres the article:

From my work with Tanner Houck's family assisting them manage his fanmail and autograph policies, I know that Topps will send a suitcase full of cards with instructions, i.e. sign 50 in green, 20 in silver, etc. They also send about 5 brand new pens of each color sharpie. I dont think any of the above players even finished ONE Sharpie by signing so little of their names!!



Tanner's mom is a teacher, my friend and co-worker and always bothers him about his autograph, how he doesnt sign so anyone can read his name!!

Yeah, oops is right....I think some guys don't care at all about signing, but those who do I feel like go out of their way to sign and make it special for the fans!!

It's funny how many of the players with such crappy signatures were washouts in their careers as pro athletes. Maybe it shows that they also cut corners in their athletic endeavors.

Dave, that is a great observation, I wonder if that is the case?? It is a definite correlation, that is for sure!!

@FunnyAthleteNames

Sean Manaea understood the assignment for sure... The Topps sticker guy is the real american hero though. He saw Jeferson's signature and did his best with many of the stickers to center the placement. I call mine the blue balls variation

Not a card per se, but thought this was a funny article, reminds me that number of championships is not always a predictor of how great a player is.....if you go straight on number of Championships won, then Kurt Rambis (4) is a better player than Jerry West (1)!

Of course, Jerry went to the Finals 9 times, don't forget!

The Eight Worst Players To Win Multiple NBA Championships

The general consensus about sports athletes, particularly in the NBA, is that titles won is the true measure of a player's greatness...
