O/T Who has signed the most autographs

[oldjudge]

Babe Ruth

[brunswickreeves]

Mickey Mantle or Ken Griffey Jr

[mrreality68]

I would think out of that group Pete Rose he has been signing for years and is always doing events to stay relevant since he got banned from Baseball. He used to have a setup at Las Vegas and just cater to tourists for signatures

I was on a consignment road trip a few years back and I stopped at the Bob Feller Museum in Van Meter, IA. I took a picture of the building and posted it on LOTG's social media, and someone commented "Did he sign it?"

He's the only guy I know who has a hobby joke that everyone says, which is that it's more rare to find a Feller collectible without his autograph than with.

That being said, here are some of the other signatures not listed above that I see constantly:

Lou Boudreau
Larry Doby
Rick Ferrell
Phil Rizzuto
Brooks Robinson
Monte Irvin
Enos Slaughter
Johnny Mize

We've definitely used the Feller joke and the related Rose joke:

Nice 1965 Topps Pete Rose. I see it's not autographed, better not let him see it...

Non-autographed Bob Feller items are probably rarer than signed ones. He signed a ball for me, at the old Municipal Stadium, in the 1980s and was great. I don’t think he hardly ever turned down signing something, and usually for free unless he was at a show.

However, I vote Pete Rose. He is an autograph machine. As I type this, he’s probably set up at a Vegas hotel/casino signing items at this very moment.

Great list Al!

I would add Bobby Doerr, Warren Spahn and Buck O'Neil as three more nice guys who signed a ton of stuff...

[BearBailey]

Joe DiMaggio and Mickey mantle would be my choice. Joe d was the first I remember doing paid autograph signings in the early 80s?

[Huck]

Hands down Feller. Feller was a regular on the circuit. Feller was everywhere, store openings, car dealerships, moose lodges, heck he even had a museum. Great guy, an ambassador for the game. Now, the new Feller is Jim Palmer or Steve Carlton. Once, I had Palmer sign a Perez-Steele postcard. Palmer saw the postcard and said "Ah, Perez-Steele, I think that I have signed every one (10K) of those postcards."

I was thinking Bob Feller and Mickey Mantle.

There are guys who have been signing for Topps for years now in their modern products like Goose Gossage, Jim Rice and Dennis Eckersley.

[Writehooks]

Across all sports, it has to be Ali.

[skelly423]

Babe Ruth died in his early 50s. The other 3 all got 80+ years of signing.

If the question was who has the most autographs, it'd be Babe, but I doubt he signed most of them...
