  I got him about 2 years ago. Signature was fine but he left a nice black line along the back of the helmet. I've heard his signature is a bit worse now.

  Ray Lewis (Saturday)with NEW FULL SIGNATURE.
  
  
  
  Now we have to pay more for a better signature. I'm done.

  I hear and understand your frustration.
  
  
  
  While I’ll always want to see the best looking signature possible from every signer, I can not respect someone changing their signature, especially with timing like this. Where was this signature all along ???
  
  
  
  Personally, I wanted an autograph from Ray, even made a custom helmet for him to eventually sign...but I could not justify the cost of his original chicken scratch “signature”, so to date I’ve always passed (and ended up modifying the helmet and using it for someone else). I would be OK with paying for the new signature, but I’m not entirely sure I want to be one of the collectors who enable this type of nonsense to happen. So out of principle, I may end up passing again (for my own piece of mind....not because I believe that my boycott would have any type effect).
  
  
  
  While not personally affected, I can feel the frustration for the numerous collectors who paid good $ for his original chicken scratch sig earlier this year. Now he rolls out a new sig, a few months later, after the HOF surge rush is in the past ? Nice timing, for a new money grab.
  
  
  
  In my opinion, athletes need to come up with a signature (not chicken scratch) right from the beginning, and stick with it. If you wanna do an abbreviated/rushed signature when being mobbed by fans at a practice, airport or whatever that’s one thing, but when people are paying for your autograph you better give them their money’s worth. Changing a signature after several years, shows a complete lack of respect for all of those who have paid good money for your autograph to date, clearly they just don’t matter. If they don’t like the old one, they can just buy the new and improved one, right ?
  
  
  
  I don’t know who spearheads this type of nonsense, but there is no way that the athletes aren’t at least on board with it, and that’s not cool at all. Shame on Ray, and everyone else who is involved in this ridiculous money grab scheme...
  
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  A disgusted bystander

  I am one of those people that has the old Ray signature. I got it years ago at the 5-35 show in MD. When I saw that he had a "new" signature i jumped at the chance and am really glad i did. The helmet came out great (I uploaded a picture to the gallery).
  
  I have seen Ray at multiple shows and at every one he has been in a less than pleasant mood. At CSA this past weekend he could not have been nicer. I actually got 5 items signed (only the mini was for me) and he took his time on every one including switching 4 pens. When he was done I thanked him very much and congratulated him on his induction. He thanked me and stuck out his hand insisting to shake mine. I am thrilled with the "new" Ray, both the signature and persona.

  I got him at MAB back in August. Sig is pretty bad. I got a Notre Dame Mini signed with Heisman inscription.

  Nydre78 and Toccoa thanks for sharing! I am going to pass on getting a full size and buy one already done just to be cautious.

  Not only safe, but that way you also don’t have to put up with his grumpiness.
  
  
  
  The quality or his signature is pure gold, in comparison to the quality of his personality. He’s probably upset that he only made $10,000 over the course of his playing career, so is taking it out on the rest of the world...

  This is the main reason I will stick with the helmet I have, black mark and all.

  Well I'm definitely convinced to buy one done. Thsnks guys.

  So, if I can't afford the "New Full Signature", can I get a legible one at lower cost? That just does not make sense to me at all.
  
  
  
  Maybe Barry Sanders will follow. I got his signatures back in the 90's (Free by the way) and it is fully spelled out. Now it is at $175 for "Bay Sds". I recently showed some guy a picture of the ones I got in the 90's and he said that they were fake. At least he still uses the same B-S in the signature. <img src='http://forum.signingshotline.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

  Great show! Once again major props for bringing in guys that aren't on the normal show circuit. My VIP included Don Sutton free and my mystery free signer was John Smoltz which I needed so big score. I saw another guy trying to trade away L.T. as their freebie so they were giving away majors unlike The National and easier lines. Ready for March!
