Was that a paid signing?

Hard to believe, but yes.

Always wanted a Michael Jordan auto. So picked up this flag signed by him and Emmitt Smith, John Elway, Lance Armstrong. Thinking if I ever have the chance maybe I'll try adding more autos of top athletes to it.

You got a great signature from him compared to some of the others he gave. The black squiggle is the autograph he gave one collector at the same show.

Exactly the reason why I would never collect Autographs these guys just don't care what it looks like

There are a bunch of guys who signed very nicely early in their career and then just got worse and worse. Or shorter and shorter. I believe that the earlier type of signature will continue to go up in price while the later one will go down. I try to snag up these early signatures while you can get them at a good price. Manny is one of these players. Frank Thomas is another and McGwire has really shortened his signature in the last few years even for paid autographs. Here are the earlier signatures of each that I would buy up.

Randall,

I don't think I've ever seen a Thomas auto like that. Nice!
