Mark SteinbergI agree with NOT doing the inscription. I think these often look cheap and contrived, and a simple autograph might be better (if you must have it signed). If you have the signed letter attesting to the game-usage, that should more than suffice.
Also... Brooks does not have the world's most attractive penmanship. Would it be rude to say his writing looks like my son's writing in 4th grade? As much as I respect him and his accomplishments (he single-handedly ruined the 1970 World Series for me) I think it would look sloppy and might actually de-value this already beautiful piece.
I also hate it when people have beautiful game-used flannels signed. Especially, when the player writes "My Gamer" or something similar. Just let the historic piece speak for itself! Amazing pickup, BTW!
