February autograph pickups

Someone ought to publish a picture book of modern ballplayer "signatures" so that, a month or so after obtaining them, people will be able to identify the autographs in their collections.

David,
I mostly concur with what you stated with the exception of "King" Felix Hernandez. I think his sig is somewhat distinctive and has style.

BTW, I must say that if the poster didn't say that he got Sandy Koufax in person that I wouldn't have thought that this sig was real. His IP autograph has really significantly changed recently.

Packs, nice job on running down some particularly big names at spring training!

Scott-
Completely agree about the Koufax...if it had been posted in one of those "Is this real" threads I'll bet the consensus would be 'no'.

Great graphs though!

The crowds for Koufax are intense. There were a few hundred people trying for him and he sort of just picks and chooses what he signs and moves on down the line and moves very quickly. As soon as he stops crowds come charging so I don't blame him. I got him Monday and have only heard hard luck stories from other guys at the other camps who couldn't get to him. Him being out here is the talk of the town.

Today is Rangers camp. Hoping for more luck.
