Oscar Robertson ~~ Big O Auto success question

[indyreds]

I had sent to Oscar Robertson Years ago and he sent back a few cards sign wonderfully with his full name. I had run across one of his cards earlier this month and dropped it off in the mail to him. It looked nice signed, but now he signed just a sloppy BIG O? I see examples of that in the TTM Manager as well. I was curious if anyone has heard if that has become standard with him now or if it would be worth taking another shot hoping for his awesome full name signature? His full signature is just as classic as Richard Petty and Bobby Doerr. I love getting the legends of sports who actually signs an autograph and you can read it!

Several years ago, I got a return with just the "Big O" variation. From what I've been able to gather, if you fork over money, you get the full thing.

A couple of years ago, he was signing for free at a Milwaukee Bucks gamevwith some other former Bucks. I handed him a 2006-07 Topps Full Court card, and he looked at it, and then said "this card is illegal." I asked him to clarify, after telling him that Topps is a large company releasing licensed cards, and finding it hard to believe that they would release an illegal card, and he basically said Topps didn't pay him again for the image, because it was an old image from his playing days. I didn't have anything else on me, so he said he would sign it, but said he would only sign Big O. Besides the fact that the whole experience was weird, it may be that he only does full signatures on cards and items that he thinks are legal, meaning a vintage card, as opposed to a reprinted image, which is "illegal".

I actually requested him to sign as big o since we both live in cincy and that's what he is known as here. Nobody calls him Oscar

Got him back in January and just got the Big O.

He spends most of his time at the cigar lounge on the 2nd floor of the Westin downtown Cincy
