The Score on Tom Tellmann – 6.5

Tom has a pretty standard style of signature bordering on a little fancy. It’s at least neat. I love his “Ts” and the little tail that kind of gets on the front of them. I think the best of them is the 1981 Topps card. Usually I don’t think those multi-player cards lend themselves to that but he did a really good job fitting it in there.

Thanks Mr. Tellmann! I’m giving this return a 6.5.
