Bowman Chrome Redemption WIN
Not long ago, I received my take from the "Cardboard Problem" Bowman Chrome break. One of the items I won was an autographed Kipnis. I logged in to Topps and entered the code, then was told it would be 6-8 weeks, or maybe 14 weeks. I don't remember now.
In any case, the card arrived already in the mail today! Wahoo! I like these sig-on-card autos, though this specific auto has much left to be desired. I have no idea if the name on the card is really Kipnis' or not. You just can't make out his chicken scratch. Granted, after 500 of these, I'd be a bit a worn out, too. But, mine is numbered 097/500, so he wasn't even 20% of the way through the stack when he did this one. That means he signs his name this way. Really? Ah well, at least it is a cool card and an auto of a Triber. And, I got it pretty dang fast:-)

You know, not all sigs have to be some crazy flourish of letters, but why don't people take some pride in their name and sign it legibly? If I was ever in a position to have someone actually want my signature, I would want them to be able to see it a month or a year later and know who signed it. I don't buy the argument that "they sign a lot, so it gets messy". Take a break, stop signing for awhile, something. Autos have just gotten plain ridiculous.
