Ichiro autos

That explains why most of the balls he signs are on the side panel.

Last year I purchased an 8X10 from Mill Creek. I considered a ball but the auto is so difficult to read. I opted for the photo so when viewed it was obvious to all who the signature belonged to. I prefer sweet spot balls but felt that his auto displays so poorly I had no real choice other than the photo.

His recent signatures look like it was done by a 3 year old. His earlier signature is much better.

Yes- the earlier version looks like he was at least 4 or 5 when he signed it.

Seriously, I do agree though.... the older version actually had some flair, whereas the newer version is a much messier/uglier scribble.

Here is another Ichiro in my collection.
