The Score on Merv Rettenmund – 6.0
Merv has a signature that I would say borders on something very old school. And when I say old school I mean like the guys who sign as if they were in the Revolutionary War. I don’t say that to mean I don’t like it. I love how all the autographs have different styles and mixes of styles.
Thanks Mr. Rettenmund! I’m giving this return a 6.
