Kobe's Auto has evolved quite a lot over the years ,Brons rookie year ones from what I have seen were different depending on the series his sp authentic rookie was much shorter to his others
I'm somewhat lucky with the guys i collect, in that - for the most part - they're auto's haven't changed. Good example - Jalen Rose's Auto is still just as stylistic and beautiful as it always has been (jealous, as - being a fellow south-paw, my sig has always sloppy as). Patrick Ewing's auto hasn't changed at all (Sign's full name), Aldridge's has changed only minutely, Jeff Green's has hardly changed and Detlef Schrempf's hasn't changed either. The only guy who signs/signed regularly who's signature has changed is Garnett - but his sig was never that great stylistically anyway.

Not really. An auto's an auto and i do understand that - for some people - they're signature changes over time. I know mine has.So in regards to that "consistency", would you spend more (regardless of what the card was worth) on the auto if it was stylistically better than usual.
Say Garnett for example - If you saw a full Kg smudge free sig of his, would you be likely to splash out more for it.

(I know its abit off topic) But I think with auto's too it depends on the circumstances certain pairings or inscriptions (nicknames,awards etc) make a big difference.
I notice recent kobe & shaq auto's together carry a premium i think not only because of the championships but at a stage where they didnt get alongit always makes for a good story especially if certain players did not get along at a certain time in their career.
I'd love to see if anyone has some auto's of players who went at eachother on or even off the court that have signed together lol
Yep Durant & Westbrook's a good one what about the big 3 in Boston KG PP & Ray have they signed together I know there is some bad blood there after Ray leftOh yeah, certain pairings really fetch a premium.
Though, I cant recall that many players fighting with each other that ended up on cards together.
The only thing fresh in my head if Westbrook and Durant.
Totally agree the first say 50 signatures would be done well then as repetition sets in u might get a few sloppy ones in the bunch I'm not sure if they still do it now but with rc's the higher tier rookies would have say a have a 500 print run while the lower tiers could have more than double the print runIm not sure if other have experienced this but I think signature fatigue is a big this. Ive worked in an office setting for the last 10 years and have had to sign documents the whole time and other the years noticed a dramatic change in my signature. I cant imagine the amount of signatures a high level pro athlete would have to sign, but aside from cards I am sure they sign a tonne of other stuff. I also assume that they dont necessarily understand the market or value we put into cards as well as signature quality, so they probably look at it more as a task of business transaction.

Well, the card i was eyeing has gone like.... oh...... $500USD more than even I was crazy enough to pay for lol
I guess it made the choice easy for me. Might have to find a "lamer" auto patch card of his with a normal auto lol
Card in question Mike if you don't mind me asking?
