When I got back in to collecting about two years ago, one of the first things I did was send in a card to Jon Lester for his Steiner signing. When it came back, I took one look at the signature, thought "I paid $150 for THAT?!" and decided to stick with the old timers who have legible signatures, and who are very appreciative of fan mail. Lester has one of the nicer signatures from modern players; most of the ones I see I think are done by a drunk four year old.
