Like its been said, it is all personal preference. I don't mind stuff with or without a signature.

I don't mind a signed gamer, but I strongly prefer it be on a number or something, not just floating on the jersey fabric.

I prefer it on a back number also.

I completely disagree. If the autograph isn't aesthetically pleasing (such as this), then I would agree, but having a player autograph the game used jersey adds another personal touch to the item. They are marking their memory on that jersey for everyone to see.

To each his own I guess. I prefer to have the item exactly as it was worn/used by the player. If the item was altered in any way since the item was used directly by the player, I'm no longer interested in it.

Couldn't agree more. I can't tell you how many jerseys I've passed on because there was writing on them. Would you paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa? No? Then stop vandalizing unis. We want it to look exactly like it did when you wore it, and last time I checked, players don't wear unis with ugly signatures on them.

I helped an old man clean out his attic. He noted that some stuff in there belonged to his grandfather. Before too long, he stumbled on a 1927 game used Babe Ruth uniform. It had a bold Babe Ruth signature on it, "To my good buddy!, Babe Ruth". The old man asked me if I wanted it. I said no, the signature ruined the originality of the 1927 New York Yankee uniform. I don't like damaged goods! The old man responded, "OK, thought I would ask anyway. There is this nice man named Ken Goldin who has called a few times looking for baseball stuff. Maybe, I can get him to pick up all this junk for $20."

It's not a work of art. It is a piece of clothing mass produced in a factory.

And the Mona Lisa is boring. Maybe a mustache would make her smile.

of course they're works of art. who do you think designs them? janitors? more like graphic artists. and you can't call a Babe Ruth jersey "mass produced" when there's like two of them in existence.

Subway employees are also looked upon as "artists".

Re: A gorgeous jersey ruined for me at least

I'm not in favor of getting game worn jerseys signed. There are different opinions on this subject, obviously. For those who can't resist getting jerseys auto'd, I'd recommend having them signed down by the tags. This leaves the upper portion of the jersey (the part that was visible while worn) the way it was while in use while still allowing for the personalization and authentication that some desire.

The worst is when you find a frail item and it is signed to the person. Totally a bummer unless you happen to have the same name.
