I just think its funny I can go on ebay, type in a person's name (Philip Humber for instance) and have no idea if the signature even spells the name right.

Philip Humber's autograph is definately one of the worst, but there are many...

Quick 2 cents, Ryne Sandberg may have the worst auto. in the history of written language. This is based on the last 9-10 years at paid signings, he may have had a better sig. in his younger days, I don't know.

That's true about ryno. He did have a nicer earlier signature. Funny story that happened recently regarding ryne Sandbergs autograph. I was getting Cal Ripken to sign my hall of fame bat with about 20 signatures on it as hes flipping it around he stops and stares at on in perticuliar. It is RYnos scrawl he stops and asks " who is this". When I replied that is Ryne Sandberg he says "oh boy I got to talk to him about that one"

That's funny. I remember getting Ryno, along with about 13 other hof'ers, sign my HOF book in 2008. The only way I could identify his sig was through process of elimination. Seemed like a nice guy though.
