I'm going to do an article on who I think has the best looking signatures when it comes to TTM and stuff.

So post away....post examples of the signature too, don't just say who you think does, provide proof.

I would have to say Pat Neshek has the best signature.

I think Stan Williams has one of the nicer signatures I've seen.

Mariano Rivera

that sig is sweet.

I heard on the Michael Kay show once, that he likes to take his time and write out his full name everytime he signs because he knows how much the fans mean to the game.

My favorite sigs off all time would have to be either brooklyn dodgers carl erskine, or current l.a. Dodger jason repko

I would have to say Jacque Jones whose pic is not working right now and Alejandro De Aza

I've always loved Joba Chamberlain's signature.

I always thought that Jimmy Johnson had one of the better ones.

I also think that Cody Pickett has a nice signature as well.

My favorite is Felix Hernandez (center ball below)

I would think that the #1 criteria for a good signature is legibility. It is difficult to find a combination of legibility and artistry which is why so few autographs are truly "nice" in my eyes.

Here's an example of one without the other, Scott Kazmir. Nice looking sig, but not the easiest to read......
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/baseball%20cards/HTG/kazmir9-7.jpg

Another one who has a cool-looking but totally illegible autograph is Jonathan Papelbon...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/Personal%20Collection%20NOT%20AVAILABLE/CopyofCCI00350_edited.jpg

Yet another nice but hard-to-read sig is Cecil Fielder. Looks cool, but what does it say?...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/Personal%20Collection%20NOT%20AVAILABLE/TTMs/baseball/TedandCecil_edited.jpg

Perhaps the worst (even worse that Felix Pie) is NHLer Daniel Sedin. I think it's written in shorthand or maybe WingDings....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/yerrod/Cards/Hockey/Auto/Photo6.jpg

The guy I collect, Eric Byrnes, has neither artistry nor legibility. Some are flat-out 45-degree scribbles; this is one of his nicer ones....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/baseball%20cards/Game%20Used/traded/Byrnesie.jpg

Don Mattingly has a nice sig that is easier to read than many.....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/baseball%20cards/Game%20Used/traded/DonnieBaseball_edited.jpg

The late Johnny Podres also had a nice and easy-to-read sig....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/baseball%20cards/Game%20Used/traded/JohnnyPodres_edited.jpg

two hockey players have nice, legible and artistic sigs, Gordie Howe and Dave Taylor....

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/Personal%20Collection%20NOT%20AVAILABLE/Stitchontheway.jpg

One of my favorites is Lindy McDaniel. In this pic it's a bit hard to see, but you can see every letter and it just looks nice....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/Personal%20Collection%20NOT%20AVAILABLE/TTMs/baseball/Lindy.jpg

Kent Tekulve also has a nice sig. If you know who he is you can make it out....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/kingsfaninri/Personal%20Collection%20NOT%20AVAILABLE/TTMs/baseball/tekehouse_edited.jpg

By far, my favorite is this one, Dave Dravecky. It is my favorite because you have to take into consideration that it is signed right-handed by a man who is naturally left-handed.....

Have I opined enough for you? LOL

If only he could learn to sign the middle of the cut/stickers so that it fit into the boxes..

I vote for Mariano Rivera...the man is just magic with a baseball and a pen.

Another one I love that is probably my favorite is Todd Helton

got it IP

Jerome Bettis has a pretty original one...

Of all my TTM successes, John Farrell is by far the nicest!
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb187/pronk48mvp/TTM%20autos/SundaySeptember21200824.jpg

And of all the cards that I can't seem to trade, Jose Cueto wins there!

Fun thread! :)

Whitey Herzog's signature is very nice

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m5/203gunner/WhiteyHerzogautograph.jpg

I'm a little partial to Colts autographs.... Raymond Berry has one of the cleanest autos around, and Johnny Unitas isn't half bad either......
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p164/hodee5/niceautos1.jpg

Just had to add another Berry in there! My custom SB XX mini helmet, Bears side signed by Da Coach......
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p164/hodee5/berrymini1.jpg

I always thought Kordell Stewart had a nice auto.......
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p164/hodee5/contestconf6.jpg

And always a "Sweet" autograph.....a lot of pun intended!
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p164/hodee5/Mailday/payton1.jpg

I like Griffey's sig. (personal bias)

http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee340/yellowsugetm4/Baseball/35ad2a3b.jpg

Anyone else? Going to write up an article for this tomorrow at some point, so get your fill of suggestions tonight

Troy Aikman has a very nice signature as well.
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj152/demonpower55/Autographs%20through%20email/sc0008432f.jpg

Akili Smith has a good one.........

http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr314/michelrivolta/Autograph%20Collections/Certified%20Autographs/Football/2000FleerTraditionAutographicsAkili.jpg

Joe "The Jet" Perry is pretty neat as well.

One of the best hockey. Will post more later this week.

Trent Edwards has a great sig, especially for a current player:

Gary Forbes- former UMass Minuteman and current Tulsa 66er of the NBA D-League

my choice would have to be Rusty Kuntz Royals 1st base coach
