A killing of the decent autograph..legible first and last name…also stems from the companies such as Panini, Topps, etc offering their ‘certified’ authentic signatures on cards. They send a sheet or sheets of blank white horizontal labels to the player to sign…sometimes in the hundreds…and the player scribbles label after label, returning the sheets to the card company which then sticks the labels on player cards to give the appearance of the card having been autographed. Mass production, assembly line autographing.
