I know.
I started collecting back when I was about 12 years old, which was only a little over 60 years ago. Apparently over a period of 60 years, players became unable to fully write their name out when signing.
Unfortunately, my collection is based on one theme, MLB Managers autographs. I never factored in the prerequisite as to their penmanship or whether they could spell out each letter or not.
Also, back when I started, players didn't charge either. I guess it's an understatement if I say 'times have changed'.
