There are thousands of signed stock color photographs the promoter offers at shows. Plus behind the curtain, the player is signing a stack of the same photograph to make the piece count for the promoter. The stock photographs are just overdone. I used to purchase b&w photographs by George Brace when his daughter was hawking them from a website. She eventually sold the inventory to Getty images.
If you are going to go purchase signed photographs I would look for unique not massed produced shots.
I came late to Perez-Steele. Yes, the art is a little funky on some of the cards (ex. Yount) but I wish that I had started sooner on getting the cards signed.
