The Score on Larry Krystowiak – 6.5
Larry did a good job on these but the busy nature of the image and a little bit of a fading marker kind of gets in the way. I think the Skybox card just has a better place to sign in general so there’s a bit better place to show off the signature.
Thanks Mr. Krystowiak! I’m giving this return a 6.5.
