Does somebody know Evgeni Malkin personally?

No, just kidding, but I just saw some cards from the new cup and what happened to his signature? It becomes the mixture of his russian and english name form. I know it is annoying to write your name thousand times, but he's signature starts to become like O' Sullivan's auto.








(The cards has been taken from e-bay, they are not mine)


What your thought?

Put enough cards in front of a guy and eventually it'll get lazy. Case in point:

2005


2010


Unfortunate, but that's life.

They def don't sign all of their cards, get a grip on reality. IT doesn't matter what it says on the back of the card.

LOL they don't actually sign all of their h9ockey cards, are you on crack? They have better things to do. The higher ends they do like Ultimate and some other rarer inserts from other products. IT doesn't matter if it say ''in front of a upper deck representative.'' They could tell you anything and there would be nothing you could do to prove them wrong.

Another post like this from you, what is that, 8? They do sign all these cards, just on stickers mostly. I've seen players post pictures on twitter about all the stickers they sign. They sign them, they just get more and more lazy with the 1000s of autos.

In that case if they get bored, sign less. My 6 years old nephew sings like this. Don't be mad about me, but it makes no sense. In 2015 he will sign just an X?

george...that is a great point. I noticed the same thing with this years cup cards. I guess hes starting to get comfprtable and not take as much pride in it.

Thats too bad.

look at that sig.

[thegenerel]

wow, he is getting sloppy. crosby still signs great though, and he is probably asked more than anyone else.

Malkin always had a crappy and sloppy signature, nothing new really.

you're right, but that's why this is so annoying that he becomes worse.
