In honor of Alex Delvecchio, who passed away on July 1 at age 93. He was an old-timer, so you know he had a crisp, legible signature. I give it a 9/10 rating.
RIP Fats...

Al MacInnis is another hall-of-famer who I think has a great auto. I have a soft spot for autos that go top to bottom rather than the usual side to side and MacInnis is a great example of that:

I couldn't find a Delvecchio auto which was disappointing. Here is one of his ex teammates and some other slug! Both autos are pretty clear and as Beckett said were 10. The Gordie is definitely a 10 but I would say Wayne's is a 9. A classic card none the less!

If memory serve, there were a number of Spezza auto cards from different sets with the auto upside down.

Next auto...an older guy with a lazy auto. Basically, just a "Z" with his number 36. Who is he...Zorro? 
Mats Zuccarello
Good guy...horrible auto. I give it a 3/10 just because the 36 is legible.
Happy 4th of July to my fellow USA collectors!

Here is one of the classic old timer autos of Johnny Bucyk! I give it a 9/10 since it is completely legible.

He started out good but seemed to get tired lol!

I think this one is pretty good for a bunch of Bullies! Even someone like Dave Schultz who would be somewhat punch drunk as they say has a legible auto. This is an 8/10 for me.

All three autos are awesome!
Barber must be a lefty...his has the backward slant.

My next auto is another old-timer...who usually have awesome autos! This one is Frank Clancy. I love the old guys who sign with their nickname as well. In this case Frank "King" Clancy.
That is always a 10/10 in my book!

From the same set as the Bucyk but a very different auto. I don't know how you get Sundin out of that. I really haven't seen many of his autos over the years and you can see why on this 1/1. I would say 2/10 as he was able to keep it on the sticker!

My next auto to show is one from 2010-11 In The Game Ultimate 10th Edition. The base cards in the product had different parallels. One of them was the 1/1 Presidential Proof card. On these 1/1 cards, the President/Owner of In The Game, Dr. Brian Price, actually autographed the back of the card. I opened a lot of Ultimate 10 and wanted to get at least one of those autographed cards. I lucked out and got the Presidential Proof card of Eddie Shore...Old time hockey!
Brian has a neat and very legible auto. The ITG Ultimate cards were not just "A Passing Fancy" to me. They became my favorite all-time cards from when the first product came out. That is why I have such a large collection of ITG Ultimate, and also ITG Ultimate Vault. Some people hate the always slabbed cards, but I actually loved them from the start.
I give his auto a 10/10!

p.s. Let's see who gets my two subtle references in my statement above.

Here is one that is more legible then most even though it is an 02-03 Between the Pipes and he was in his 70's at the time. Great on card auto of a legend! I would give it a solid 8/10!

Gump autos are always cool. The hard part is to find one where he signs with his real first name, Lorne.

Always a true gentleman to deal with. His wife was a lovely, kind lady. A great hockey couple.
