The 500 Home Run Club - My Signed OMLBs

I want to hear more about this Manny disaster. Appears you got lucky as the ball you have looks good!

From what I have heard, he was signing at least 5 different versions of his signature. Additionally, he started and ended his appearance early with no notice, he didn't sign everything in the back, he gave no care to what he was signing, a baseball w/21 500+ HR hitters was stolen. There is probably more.

I sent an item to get signed through SI King, which I was told was signed-but I am afraid to see what it looks like. At least it wasn't a multi-signed piece.

EDIT: Here is Scott Smith's recap-he sent pictures of all the items and his signature is all over the place

Manny Ramirez (the most difficult SOB on the planet) actually signed everything, but it took some coaxing to come back over 3 days as he up and left at one point stiffing hundreds of folks on line. Real shame. He signed in different spots just to be difficult and signed a few different ways. I'm happy with the majority of items but one or 2 leave me shaking my head. Some large, some small, some in spots where requested and other spots he chose to be in idiot and sign elsewhere on the item. Just very very frustraing.

Thanks for the info. I don't get why he would choose to be such a rube.
