Mickey Mantle always had a nice signature. It was nice looking not beautiful, but was always consistent and careful. Especially considering some of today's signatures, I give good grades to consistency and pride in handwriting. For example, Nolan Ryan's signature isn't beautiful, but he gets high marks from me due to consistency. It looks the same every time.

I always like Ted William's signature as well.

In terms of vintage players, I always felt Mays and Yaz both had horrible looking signatures.

Although I like Gehringer's signature, to me it looks too mechanical, like he was doing a penmanship exercise. For consistency and legibility I nominate Harmon Killebrew.

Default The Duke
Duke Snider's signature is pretty good and I think has been pretty consistent throughout the years.

I like the signatures of Mickey Mantle, Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson.
For current players, Derek Jeter and early Ken Griffey Jr. autographs.

I agree... Killebrew and Gehringer are two of the best.

I also like Ted Williams, Johnny Bench, Eddie Collins and Chas. Comiskey

Most childlike/worst of the worst are Cy Young, Buck Leonard and Brooks Robinson (yuck) I think Brooksie may have actually devalued a few photos, jerseys and caps when he signed them!

I would have to go with Harmon Killebrew. Not only a consistent and legible autograph but a class act as well.

How could I forget the signature of Sandy Koufax! One of the all-time best autographs!
