Most common Hall of Fame autographs

[Wrightfan85]

I know all the Baseball ones (Feller, Doerr, etc...) but how about the other sports?

Bower's gotta to be up there in hockey at least.

I assume you mean football, basketball, and hockey.
IMO the easiest way to determine the "commonness " or "rarity " of an autograph is to check price guides. The cheaper the autograph the more common . PSA autograph facts is one of the easiest price guides available whether or not you agree with the values they list for autographs.
Also books like Ron Keurajian"s dealing with baseball HOFers can give you a very good idea of availability as well. He even gives a rudimentary breakdown of availability on the type of medium the autograph is on.
I'm not aware of complete price guides on football, basketball, and hockey as there are on baseball.

I can give a little hockey perspective, off the top.

Gordie Howe was a signing machine. Maintained a beautiful signature throughout most of his life. As one of the top 3 players ever (maybe number 1), his signature can be had at prices almost anyone can do.

Bobby Hull is also a prolific signer. Plenty of his stuff out there too. Prices are affordable and rival Howe. Plus he is obviously still signing.

Bobby Orr was a bit tougher, but over the years the inventory seems to be increasing. His signature on pieces has come down because he seems to be more prolific, but it is still a $100 item on cards and pucks. He rarely does in person shows, but the last one he did, he commanded way more than you can pick his stuff up for.

Jean Beliveau was also a prolific signer, and when he did shows, many times the money went to a local charity. He too has a beautiful signature, maybe the best in hockey IMO. A gentleman throughout his life, he rarely turned down a request. You can pick up nice pieces for a very reasonable price.

Slightly tougher is Maurice "Rocket" Richard, but still plentiful. He passed a few years back, but his pieces can be had for under $100.

The tougher ones that many people of my generation would covet, as they would have seen them play, are Terry Sawchuk, Tim Horton, Doug Harvey, and Jacques Plante. They all passed at a younger age, and there is a limited supply. You don't see them for under $100 at all.

Everyone wants a Howie Morenz signature. Much rarer than a Ruth or Gehrig, given when he passed. These go for large (hockey type) dollars when available.

Finally, Georges Vezina passed at a young age from TB. IMO these are rarer that Morenz.

Hope this helps.

Al Kaline was a prolific signer for decades. I did notice a signature someone posted on Instragram a couple of months ago was shaky and sloppy. Very unlike his clean signatures he's been cranking out for decades.

Feller as mentioned signed for decades. Both of their autographs have been very inexpensive for years (outside the recent bump of Kaline's due to his recent passing).

Harmon Killebrew and Monte Irvin were signing machines. Their stuff is very affordable. Rollie Fingers, Gaylord Perry are a couple more baseball that quickly come to mind, even though they both charge a very small fee generally to sign. It is generally pretty comparable to what their items would go for on the market.

Going back to the Hockey post regarding holy grail Hockey signatures, I would have to venture a guess that since were are dealing with the big world event right now that there would be some interest in finding a signature of "Bad Joe" Hall who was a legend in the early days of Hockey who succumbed to the Spanish Flu during the infamous Spanish Flu Epidemic a little over 100 years ago.

Pete Rose... oh wait lol. In all seriousness the dude makes Bobby Doerr look like Dr. Mike Marshall. I also think Gehringer, Slaughter, and Mize signed a bunch. Boggs is incredibly generous when it comes to signing, and Tony Gwynn was too.

Basketball is hard to say but Shaq signs a ton. Even ttm but it's highly debated if it's actually him doing the signing. A lot of the old timers were fairly easy to come by... Cousy comes to mind.

Football is also a little more difficult but I grew up close to Weeb Ewbank and even though me and all my friends had no idea who he was we were always told he was in the HOF and would get his autograph whenever we saw him as he always graciously did. Funny little side note is that when he passed away Joe Namath came to town for his funeral. He went to one of the elementary schools, for some reason, but none of the kids knew who he was!

Bill Barber is another hockey HOFer that is very responsive to fan mail. I'd think he would be considered common.

Ted Lindsay must have signed at least 100 items for me over the years.
