I am definitely not a fan of multi-signature items like balls or team photros when you can't ID the signature to a specific player. Crappy signatures of players on their cards or photos is a little better, because at least you know who you have,
That ball shown above is awful. Even if you know who they are, it just looks like a bunch of stray pen marks like someone was pushing the ball up a hill with an uncapped ballpoint pen! That said, I am 50 years old now and my signature has become illegible over the years.

The saddest part is that the players on the modern ball were either compensated for signing or at the very least were signing for charity (judging by the MLB hologram). I can even understand these kids doling out scrawls if it's for free, but if you're being compensated, come up with a more attractive representation. Many players do have two versions, but not too many of the younger guys. Hey, you're famous; if you're young and don't know cursive, learn it for just this purpose. You owe the people doling out money a little more than what is seen above. Feel free to scribble (or not sign at all) when it's not a business transaction. That's your choice, as it's your choice to sign for compensation.
Yet people line up to pay a David Ortiz a minimum of $200 for some loopy lines.

I think the terrible signatures is the main reason the autographed cards issued in packs are so popular, at least you have a idea who it is. Would be next to impossible to authenticate most current autographs on a ball or photo.

I'll keep my magnificent Charles Gehringer, but when I saw the Ichiro Suzuki autographs (even though I know his is a different language), I ended my quest to collect all living Hall-of-Famers and those players, like Suzuki, who are sure to make it. They want $240 for the Suzuki auto 1935 DIAMOND STARS w GEHRINGER AUTO.jpgichiro auto for 240 bucks.jpg
