The Score on Keith Taylor – 6.5
Keith has a pretty standard signature. But with the personalization and everything you see just a little bit of style he adds. All of those “Ts” and the “B” in my name have that little swoosh to start the letter. I like that little repetitive element he adds. I think my favorite of these is the 1991 Pacific card because the black marker really pops on that one.
Thanks Mr. Taylor! I’m giving this a 6.5.
