Topps Cricket Legends Of The Game

[Avonc]

Two McCullum sigs, #/25 and #/49. There's also 1,5 &10 versions .
Unlicenced and autograph on a sticker, but still pretty cool cards.

looking through the Baz's on ebay, his signature looks very different on almost every card

And its all through the Sig, Different shapes on the B, different number and style of loops for the double L, completely different ways of getting from the B to the Double L

Sure is some vereation there.

You’re right, it’s all over the place. Not a great looking signature that’s for sure.

Did I read that there not actually player signed ? Topps fanatics have the rite to reproduce there sig ? Would make sense to the variations

No they are signed by the player.

 

[Jakenz]

Good to know maybe using his left hand or closing his eyes then ?

 

[BLOWN8]

The day they “reproduce” a players signature is the day I’m out of collecting. Surely that couldn’t possibly be a thing. No one would buy a product like that.

 

[Jakenz]

I’m not sold on it from what I’ve read anyway and the news off tops putting out fake autos recently does seem to add caution to this set ?

 

[May-Z]

if someone told me McCullum didn't sign his i wouldn't be surprised, everyone else's look fine

 

[Jakenz]

Yer there’s no way a bloke with such great hand eye coordination can’t sign his own name in the same style or fashion as the last signature he’s just done.

This was his other signature card and he does have a large auto.......which may have played into the fact him signing on smaller stickers may not have been something he was used to doing (squeezing his auto into a smaller area).

Below is an in person auto as well for comparison

I have no queries at all that the above sigs of B.Mccullum are authentic. And I’ll agree he does have a very free flowing sig but the Topps sigs are not even close I think saying because he had to sign them smaller would be clutching at straws. Have a look on you tube at the doco in Feb about Topps faking autos round about same time this set being produced. I believe this set is a feeler set to test the market no real strength to it.
