Love these sweet spot autographs. The basketball stars are getting somewhat harder to find! They did a good job with the border colors matching the team colors, too!

I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved the basketball stars autographs on baseballs. I have Bird, Magic, Dr. J, Kareem, Kobe, Drexler, and others…still don’t have the LeBron!

Continuing my Sweet Spot auto posts, seems to be a reasonable time to post Ichiro - one shy of a unanimous HOF induction. That one writer who didn’t vote for him must have been smoking crack! He was amazing. And he did it all with grace. Never getting his first MLB hit until age 27. Wild. MVP his rookie year, too!

Since they last posted, the Derek Jeter sweet spot autograph, I thought I’d post the Ken Griffey, Jr. sweet spot autograph as well. For some reason, I prefer Griffey cards in his Mariners uniform, even though he played about half of his career for the Reds. His most prolific seasons came with Seattle. It’s not quite as bad as Jordan items in a wizards uniform but it still hits different when I have players in the teams’ uniforms that I remember the most.

You can’t go wrong with autographs of “The Captain”. Beautiful signature on this upper deck sweet spot autograph. My love of the sweet spots and sweet shots autographs is well known. It’s like having an entire autographed baseball in the convenience of a baseball card. Jeter has always had one of the most beautiful signatures in recent memory. Especially compared to the autographs that these kids are coming out with now!
