Henry has a pretty scratchy signature. I think this is a great example of how the blue marker going with the blue in these uniforms can make an autograph look even better. It can’t happen for everybody, but in this case I think it did. My favorite of this bunch is the 1990 Upper Deck card.

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