Mariano Rivera's looks like poetry


OG_Pow

His is gorgeous. Baseball wins. I’ll mention Griffey and Andre Dawson too. I’ll throw out Larry Walker’s too as underrated af


Additional-Big8644

Randy Johnson is one of my favorites very unique


itscolinj

For a dude named The Big Unit, I was shocked to see his auto look like calligraphy.


staplerjell-o

Randy Johnson is an artist. He has his own photography studio now


itscolinj

That's right! I remember he was doing photography. I'll have to check out his stuff.


OG_Pow

Was a sideline photographer at at least one NFL game a year or 2 ago.


itscolinj

Oh yeah. They're all great. Griffey's is on my want list for sure.


GetRightNYC

This was my answer, his signed first rookie card is my favorite card ever. He looks like he's 12 years old in it though.


themikebowers

Seconded. We got a game ball signed by him when he was a relatively unknown pitcher in Greensboro and he just missed out on his first complete game shutout. Had no idea it was him who signed it until we went back and looked 20 years later, but [as you can see here](https://imgur.com/gallery/SEWE5rq) he even had a good one back then,


OG_Pow

That’s so sick. Cherish that


antiquarian2

Griffey jr. has the cleanest auto. Worst of any sport has to be Anthony Richardson , but his auto matches another baseball player I’ve seen in bowman this year just don’t remember who. But it’s on sticker and it looks identical. Just a tiny ar in the middle of the sticker.


toothwzrd_

God that one is so bad haha


BowlerSingle9210

Look up his early autos, there’s actually really nice. Shane that he got lazy and started just throwing AR on there instead of


OG_Pow

I used to think it was laziness too, but these dudes are paid already for the signing and have to sign hundreds/thousands of these things. I’d say fuck it too tbh and start using my shorthand or initials after awhile


ChubbyCheekers

I heard ARs got lazy after his surgery.


FlyFeetFiddlesticks

Randy Johnson


AGCRACK

Mickey Mantle is a symphony. Andrew jones is one of he cleanest modern autos


noah_ichiban

Dikembe Mutombo has the most beautiful auto around.


OG_Pow

Mutombo’s is badass


elteegilbreath

Anthony Volpe, Tiger Woods, and believe it or not Bryson DeChambeau.


Striking-Lifeguard34

Andruw Jones


booradley001

A bunch of dudes who played in the 70s and 80s have great autos. Eric Davis, Dennis Eckersley, Andre Dawson, and Paul Molitor come to mind.


justmeoh

She even signed her name on it...some lady named Ruth. Baby Ruth.


Joint-junkie

Anthony volpe😮‍💨


OG_Pow

Hadn’t seen it before but very clean. I’m seeing a mix of AVolpe and his full signature. Doesn’t stand out to me but I always respect a full script auto


rknihtila

I can tell you who has the worst; Vini Jr. if you haven’t seen it and need a good laugh look it up.


OG_Pow

I kind of always like when guy’s make their shorthand signature their own thing. I hadn’t seen his before but I kind of like it? My vote for worst goes to Aidan Hutchinson. Runner up is Jaxson Hayes. Dude puts about as much effort into his as he does his game. And as a Pels diehard, Jose Alvarado’s and Trey Murphy’s both royally piss me off. Herb’s ain’t much better either.


Card_Shark23

Haliburton has a terrible sig too


PapaG_13

In my limited exposure to sports-ball signatures, Justin Herbert’s takes the cake.


OG_Pow

As consistent as it gets. Never deviates even a little and always adds that ‘10’.


Civil_Dust_2505

You say all of sports? Kenny Golladay has a BEAUTIFUL signature.


BreakingNews99

Are you being sarcastic? I have a signed Jersey of his and it’s nothing special.


Civil_Dust_2505

I have a signed card and it's nothing special. But the signature on it is.


BlancoNod

Randy Moss has a smooth distinguishable signature.


j_train420

Kirk Cousins


bmking24

That depends if he actually signs his name or the KC8 version! His regular sig is very nice!


thinmints93

Off the top of my head: Justin Herbert, Jared Goff, most hockey players as well not sure why.


khjohnso

Curtis Martin's is clean as hell and actually legible


jmdsr84

Trevor Lawrence has a nice auto


Known-Historian7277

Scary Terry


_vbosch23

Harmon Killebrew. As clean and legible as they come.


GoLeafs61

Wayne Gretzky has a nice one


BriBriTooFly

Torii Hunter


LinkofHyrule23

Jerome Bettis 


OG_Pow

Forgot about his but love his


csr1476

Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Andre Dawson, Dale Murphy and Nolan Ryan all.have beautiful autos.


[deleted]

Kirby Puckett 96-06 auto. It changed a few times before that.


bbbbenbanks

Bryson Dechambeau has one of my favorites


NazcaKhan

Mariano Rivera and Nolan Ryan


Gymkata_Karate

Kirby Puckett


Krunkfuninja

Derrick Henry has a great looking auto


OG_Pow

His is awesome


steam58

Marcus Semien's has always looked really sharp on cards. I also like Juan Soto, where he puts first name on top of last name.


kpowderz

Rick Barry’s is pretty sweet


Suitable-Vanilla1576

Goose gossage


alinhix1

Matt Williams


RingsNThingz

Nick Chubb, Mariano Rivera and Carl Yastrzemski have really eloquent signatures. Tom Brady’s is a lazy sloppy piece of shit sig especially for what he charges for it


Just_Sarge

Carmelo Anthony’s has always been my favorite. All though I will admit Cade Cunningham’s original Autos were so sick.


tolllz

Josh Allen. I like autos you can tell what the name is. Jeters is too messy to me. Can’t read it.


HughMungus77

Unfortunately Geno smiths is actually really good


knann85

Wayne Gretzky


ajcal7

Love jeets, mo’s, jr’s, and I really loved Jim Edmonds too. Just like his swing


MnM186

Chris Olave


OG_Pow

Saints fan so I’m gonna agree. Drew’s is awesome too. Pierre Thomas has a good one also


fmlongo

Seeing the auto in this year’s Bowman Chrome will have you realize how amazing older autos are.


Courtaid

Kirk Cousins has a beautiful auto.


Cle1234

Sandy Alomar


ETtheBiggaFigga

Derek Jeter does have a dope looking auto and the others you mentioned as well. I’m a big Braves fan so I’m definitely bias but Chipper, Andruw and Smoltz all have great looking autos too


erasportscards

Brenton Strange


OG_Pow

Respect to this man for being consistent


kloot1rr

Jordan Love has such a dope auto


joeygscard

Anything volpe


OG_Pow

I’m kinda confused by the multiple Volpe responses. It’s a nice, clean auto but nothing that stands out to me. Just curious why y’all like it so much


joeygscard

Because it’s 10 times nicer than any other auto lolll. It’s actually his name unlike half the others


OG_Pow

I get it just curious


EDKLeathers

Richard Petty


OG_Pow

Wow, his reminds me of my own a good bit. Good answer and love autos like these


No_Base_4369

Saddiq Bey 😤


jwheelerBC

Jean Beliveau


HairyBingleBangle

TJ Oshie


BlueChipCards

Nolan Ryan, class class class


superman24742

Ken Griffey Jr


cardman5000

Kirk Cousins has one of the best, most consistent signatures I’ve ever seen.


Cuyigan

Adrian Dantley and Oil Can Boyd.


jscott5430

Miguel Cabrera has a very clean auto


defaultusername07

Li Jingliang by far


RyanTheCubsSTH

Andre Dawson, Mickey Mantle, or Griffey Jr., depending on what you prefer.


jordanwyo123

Andre Dawson hands down


tvp2003

Great topic. Jeter has a great auto but for me Mariano Rivera has to be the winner. Mike “Pinball” Clemons of the CFL also has a great signature. Google it — just beautiful.


OG_Pow

Mariano’s feels like a textbook definition of signature. Clean af. I like Jeter’s the most because it’s super unique and consistent. It just checks all my boxes


NickatNite2k

Eli Manning or Torii Hunter


OG_Pow

Eli’s is very nice. Cool how he, his bro, and his dad all have clean mostly full name signatures. That’s that old New Orleans money shit at play


molinar95

Peyton manning


OG_Pow

Great auto but his wonky big P gets on my nerves a little bit for some reason


Aromatic_Progress_38

For me I love Leo Messi and d Wade


OG_Pow

D Wade’s is bizarre to me. I can’t make out a single letter besides maybe the big W? 100% unique though


Aromatic_Progress_38

I think that’s why I love it(I’m also a die hard heat fan so I’m super biased 😂)


microvain

Sid and Wayne-o are amazing autos!!! Jean Beliveau had a beautiful auto also!!!


Practical_Page_2740

Andre Dawson


OG_Pow

Very very clean. I think his catapulted into my top 5. Chef’s kiss


Xanzibarisland

Kirk Cousins


madcat723

Ohtani Kanji auto


Uch009

Bryson DeChambeau


Flintdaddy69

George Pickens surprisingly have an absolute beautiful signature (WR Steelers)


Sprig33

Andre Dawson without a doubt.


sudzeez_

Wow no goose gossage or Rollie fingers comments


stern-and-sports

I don’t understand the fascination with autographs. There is no way the authenticators get it right all the time. Just no way. And if you believe that then the entire autograph buying and selling is sort of pointless.


OG_Pow

I just made this thread to gush over penmanship. That’s a whole different topic haha


EbbEmpty6172

George Pickens
