Getting Game-used items signed

[drcy]

Personal preference, but I know of game used collectors who remove signatures from game used bats.

Some collectors also remove signatures from helmets and jerseys (yes, it can be done -- at least with modern polyester jerseys).

I can't stand signed jerseys and caps. They're both just bad mediums for ink of any kind, and signing them often compromises (sometimes ruins) the piece, in my opinion. Especially with flannel jerseys (but don't really like signed knits, either). If a Cap is signed, I always prefer it be under the brim.

Helmets and Bats look great signed (to me) and seem to accept the ink much better. I have no real preference (signed or unsigned) as it really depends on the specific item in question. As you and others have stated, it just comes down to personal preference, which will vary quite a bit from collector to collector.

That said, I wouldn't shell out $129 for Cano, but might try Spring Training or pre-game. To me, it wouldn't enhance the value all that much.
