Who Has The Best Looking Autograph of All-Time?

[creasecollector]

Just wanted to create this thread in honour of all those players who have stepped up the the plate and signed card, after card, after card, so that we collectors can enjoy ourselves and continue to pursue these amazing pieces of cardboard after every release.

I wanted to pose this question to you all: Who has the BEST Looking autograph in the hobby?


Your entries can include past or present players. * Scans and/or Photos would be appreciated. *

Although there have been many beautiful autographs, my vote would have to go to Ed Belfour.

Setting all the statistics aside, "The Eagle" has always had one of the best autos around:



Now lets see those autographs!

This isn't even a competition.



Right up until the final years of his life, that was pretty much exactly what you got every time. Every. Single. Time. No fails, no squibbly squiggles. Absolutely no check marks.

I also vote Beliveau. However from the newer generation. Little known Philip Larsen gets my vote

Already answered this on some other forum LOL so i will switch the card , but I think my guy is pretty decent and consistent

But I agree Beliveau is hard to beat

This, this and this. Honorable mention to the Rocket as well. Very few autos from the "newer generation" can ever match the legends.

This is IMO the best looking autograph of my entire collection:



He wasn't just a Hanson brother, he also played for the Red Wings and North Stars!

This is a bit of a side-note, but worth sharing. Two or three years ago I sent a nice letter to Mr. Beliveau explaining how my mother, growing up, idolized him. I didn't send anything other than a SASE asking if he could send her something. Every time we would watch a Habs game together, she would get more excited when the camera would go to Mr. Beliveau sitting in his regular seat than anything that was going on in the game. Well, it couldn't have been more than 3 weeks and an the envelope arrived at her house with one of those larger HOF cards signed and personalized to her. This was later in his life when his health was failing, but he still promptly answered any and all fan mail sent to him. All class.

I agree with Beliveau!

I also really like Stamkos. His auto is nice. Especially on hard signed stuff. His FWA is wonderful. One of my favorite FWAs.

Here is my one and only Beliveau Auto:
