A lot of Bryce Harper's autos have Bible verses on them. That is a sweet name.

Tommy Herr sent me a bible pamphlet back in the 80's along with an autograph.

Back in the day when I sent out cards for autographs (in the 1970s-early 80s), I got two back with Bible verses. Both from the Padres; Dave Roberts signed my card and sent back a signed tract testimonial, and Eric Show signed my 1984 Topps card with a Bible verse.

I would get alot when going in person for autographs. I'd often ask the player what the verse was as I was truly interested. One player didn't know. Some would write the Bible citation but it would be too scribbled to make it out which defeats the purpose.
Then notoriously bad signers like Bryce Harper shouldn't put verses. If you are going to be nasty and turn lots of folks down and then put a verse when you sign it doesn't encourage people and speak highly of the player and his beliefs.
There wasn't a great correlation between who put a verse and who was nice to fans. That is unfortunate

I remember being an 8 year old kid at the old Kingdome in Seattle and waiting for my favorite player at the time for an autograph, Tim Foli. He signed three cards and a ball for me, and on all of them he listed Romans 8:28, like mentioned above. I thought that was pretty cool, and couldn't wait to get home and look the verse up. Great memory. When I wrote my first hunting book I put that verse at the begining of the book as an homage to Mr. Foli.

I got one from Frank Tanana and the late Darrell Porter

Rick Horton and Cal Eldred signed with verses for me one year during a Cardinal Caravan event. They seemed to enjoy when I said the verse back to them and thanked them for including it

The very first In Person autograph I ever got with a Bible verse was the Astro's Rob Andrews back in 1980 or so

Eric Show wow what a memory. His claim to fame is giving up a record breaking hit to Pete Rose.

Folks---I started this thread and was aware players sign with quotes all the time. But is anyone aware of other cards that came from the manufacturer with the quote(s) in/on the original card ? I was just wondering if that was unusual
