Cards Where the Player Unexpectedly Signed it Twice

Post by SHowley2003 »

I recently picked up a 2012-13 Flawless patch/auto specifically because the player signed it twice when it was only expected that they sign it once. It made me think that it would be interesting to see what’s out there.

I’ve posted a Larry Bird card here that he signed the front and back for some reason. I’ve seen several Noir Signature Spotlight autos where the player signed the front and back (I had a Ray Allen where he did it and a buddy of mine has a David Robinson). Several of the 70’s and 80’s greats signed the patches in the 12-13 Flawless vertical patch auto set while also signing the appropriate place on the card. Robert Parish, Hakeem Olajuwon & Fat Lever come to mind of ones I’ve seen.

Anyone else have an oddball dual signed card?

Nice! Yeah I bet there are quite a few that are out there.

I have one of those Fat Lever's from 12-13 Flawless. I'll dig it out here in a bit to grab a photo.

I've pulled a couple of these through the years including a Tony Parker SP Signature and Michael Cooper Vanguard. The only one I have left is a Terry Bradshaw SP Authentic.

[Here’s the another example. Just got the Bulls version in today. To be fair, players from Parish’s era were use to signing for UD where several of the cards were designed around autos on the patch and these vertical cards don’t have a natural spot on the card for an auto.

I don't own one but I remember Hakeem Olajuwon signed some of his exquisite autographs both on card and patch. That is the one that stuck to me the most.

Here's my 12-13 Flawless Fat Lever. Definitely one of my favorite cards of his.

Lever’s auto actually looks great on that patch!

Yeah it’s kind of funny in that it probably wouldn’t have looked as fitting if the patch was “better”. Worked out really well in this case.
