The changing signature of darren lockyer

[brendo]

Hey all, just wondering what peoples views are with lockyers poor attempt at sigs these days

I collect lots of locky autos and can say late 07-early 08 it variated

Example 1 (my collection-2006 and before)

Example 2 - whats coming out today

Obviously signed post 2007, The d no longer curls and he hardly does his full (well half) his full name unless he gets paid


So.. do you as a collector care for a 'time correct' sig or happy with anything? Say if u had an old scalens langlands card signed 30 years later with a different sig than what he did during that period

I find that with high demand comes the neccessity to become quick at it. Another good example of this is Craig Lowndes and Scott Prince. Signatures are adapted so that the player can sign quickly, this is why we don't see the "arren" in Darren anymore.

Very true but he kept the same from 96-07. He was well established before gettin lazy

I'm happy with a card signed later. I wasn't around in Langlands hey day but got a 1975 card signed 35 years after. still a great item

I can say that Lockys signature has become very short indeed.... I have 3 different Lockyer signatures that he had done for me way back in round 3 1996 and he had signed his complete full 1st and last name.... I really love those sigs but even todays signatures are fine as well even if they are shorter....

Just on that I think Josh Dugan's sig. has changed from his TP card of 2009 to the recent RLPA card.

Maybe benefit of the doubt to the young ones? I know greg eastwood dosnt sign full name but did with his tp

I guess you can rest easy that it still looks like a Darren Lockyer signature. Can someone put up the differing Mark Gasnier sigs?

Here's Gasnier's current sig: X

Yeah i'll do that tonight i have ones when he was'nt lazy and i have the lastet ones he does. He does'nt even looks like his auto.

I just went through and had a look at my 4 Lockyer sigs (3 on cards and 1 on an Australian jersey) 2 cards and the jersey are just D Lockyer and the other card has his whole name.

on another note looking at the jersey and my Ben Hannant card Benny has the best signiture by far.

 

[footypugs2011]

Cause alot of players take the time to sign there auto really well.

I'll scan up the ones i got done yesterday by him at skilled.
