+1 with David here....Hard to see why anyone would collect scribbles for autographs. There is something nice about an athelete who takes pride in giving a fan a nice autograph he or she can show off to future generations aka Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Cobb. If I have to ask a forum to help me identify an auto then what is the use of collecting it...Just my opinion for what its worth...sorry if that offends.

While I do not like or admire the signatures or lack of penmanship of today's athletes it is a fact that we must accept , even grudgingly so. If you want autographs of the majority of , if not all of today's top athletes you have to put up with the sloppy signatures and for the most part a bad attitude as well.
We will never see the clear legible autographs like we did until the last 15-20 years or on the vintage pieces out there that we so love to see and collect.

I don't buy the "they don't teach penmanship" argument. I work with plenty of 20-something interns, many of whom have excellent penmanship and sign their names legibly. Plus, even if you struggle with script, one could still write their name stylishly and legibly in print style letters.
In my opinion, it has more to do with the attitude that a messy signature is a status symbol ("I'm too busy and important to care") and the notion that a clean, legible signature is old-fashioned and uncool.
