Whose signature is this?

Not sure whose signature this is, I was thinking maybe Jason Giambi, Aaron small, kei igawa? Can anyone tell?

This day and age who the h*** would want those signatures can't even read them

100% agree.

Looks close to this Giambi auto:

Add another 100%. This is a perfect example of what gets me into trouble around here. But I can't help myself.

Why is it that signers refuse to truly sign anymore? In a hurry? Don't give a rats's a$$ about who might be getting it? Not making enough signing to give a rat's a$$? Afraid someone will duplicate their real, authentic signature nefariously? Or perhaps, don't know how to write? Are there really "experts" who can decipher this scribbled gibberish? For the right payola, I too will be an expert.

Otherwise, as was said, who the h*** would want it? I guess the "This might be worth something; I might be sitting on a gold mine" crowd. The sad thing is, folks pay for the privilege of having some over-inflated ego scribble gibberish on something, others that can't wait to then sell it for a princely sum, and still others who can't wait to fork over their investment, inheritance or pocket-change play money to buy it.

I don't think it's always not caring.

In 5th grade I had penmanship once a week, all year.
My kids?
They did learn cursive, but only had it briefly in I think 3rd grade. So no lengthy practice making loops etc.

I know at first I had three very different signatures. One very clear "formal" one for legal documents etc.
A second less legible one for things like checks.
And a third for stuff like packages or why the heck do you even need a signature type stuff.

Over time all of them have gotten worse. Part of that is that it's sort of difficult signing on a touchscreen even with a stylus. Thankfully most point of sale things only want the Pin now.

So it's more of a general erosion of neat cursive writing as a thing in society in general.
