The Score on Joe Lavender – 6.5
Joe has a pretty good signature. It’s almost a stacked style. It looks like the marker let him down a little bit though which is a shame. He has a pretty good sized signature and it was going to look great on this card. My favorite thing about this card (other than the 1982 design that I love) is Joe’s expression.
Thanks Mr. Lavender! I’m giving this return a 6.5.
