A few days ago, I got some cards of an up and coming player in the A's organization, Billy Burns! Burns has had an amazing spring training, hitting .385 in 15 games. He also has a lot of speed, stealing 179 bases throughout his minor league career.
Billy sent back 2 Bowman cards, 1 paper and 1 chrome. The paper came out okay, but the his signature looks awful. It looks like, "Elly B," and doesn't even look like Billy Burns.
The chrome that I got back came out a little better, but his signature still looks terrible. He personalized the 2 cards to me, which is cool. Hopefully Billy Burns can make the A's out of spring training, and have a great rookie year!

Thank you for reading!
For newer cards, they need "prepped" or the signature is likely to bubble like it did on both those cards. I usually rub a small amount of baby power onto the card before sending it out, and it helps the autograph take to the card a little better. Happy ttm'ing!
