Auto question

[packs]

Probably the number one reason not to have the autograph graded.

(Selfishly) the type of response I was looking for. Thank you!

PS - I'm intrigued on the quote in your signature line. Can you tell me more?

I just did a google search for his autograph and almost all of his autos look like that. Looks like he signs J . Baez.

Correct on the J.

I'm referring to the ink quality / pen pressure on the letter J. There is a small area where the loop crosses over the stem where the ink starts to get lighter. My question was, how would this affect pure autograph grading? (In this case the card is graded, but not the auto separately).

Honestly this for me is where grading paranoia probably starts to cross a line. I'm not much of an auto guy, but did want to pick up some of my favorite current players. A question like this is not one I would have even known to ask 20 years ago / before the adoption of mainstream grading. I figure at worst if this auto was graded on it's own, it might get a 9 - and realistically that's still more than enough for me. The card itself overall is obviously very nice.

If I saw the photo of your card outside of the context of this thread, I wouldn't have thought anything was amiss.

Sorry, you're going to have to explain that one to me.

The signature line in Riggs336 post is from a comic book. It’s funny because it’s not exactly what I would expect in a baseball card forum. When I saw it I laughed. The quote was from a character named Free Wheelin’ Franklin. He used the word “dope” , insert that in the place of baseball cards.

Thanks. So do the Freak Brothers actually like baseball cards or is that a euphemism for drugs?

You'd have to ask them 😉.
