Do any of the contemporary players have legible autographs?

Given the date and the team, I'd have to assume Craig Biggio and his 3000th hit game.

In my career I signed dozens of documents and prescriptions daily. If I were asked to greatly reduce the size my John Hancock to accommodate a gallbladder collector after my 3000th cholecystectomy, I suspect that the authenticity of such a sig would be questioned and that Spence would not comply and issue a LOA. I would then spend my remaining days forever known as the physician who forged his own autograph. Is that a felony?

It is a bit small. You are the customer and you tried to be specific so you should try and get satisfaction. But in the long run it is his signature and he doesn't sign too much bigger than that after looking at some signed cards. He signs small and sloppy. There are some guys I won't even let sign something because their signatures are terrible.

I think the ticket can end up looking pretty good framed. I would have the ticket framed below an 8 x 10 (centered). On the right and left of the ticket have two autographed cards framed as well.

The cards are relatively cheap.

I think that would look pretty cool looking and everyone can see is horrific signature not once but three times!



Yes, you could get a refund, buy another ticket and try and have it signed again. But look at his signature, do you really think Biggio will sign it is exactly how you want it to look?

The thing is, I didn't ask him to put a small signature on the ticket. I drew a rather large box on a large portion of the ticket and I indicated a pretty big signature. That is what I don't understand.

I understand that you thought a friend was getting the signature in person, but mail order is a crapshoot.
