sorry if posted before but the title is pretty much it!

im kinda interested to see if there will be any unexpected names.

Larry Bird seems to have a signing once every other month. Iverson and Magic also sign a lot from what I’ve seen.

Among current players, I’d say Luka is the biggest star that is the most generous. He signs a ton.

Card wise?

Larry Bird and Bill Russell both are in just about every product released.

PSA2Pac · 08-02-2022, 09:43 AM

The best in-person signers in the league are Luka Doncic and Steph Curry, and it’s not even close. I’d imagine, based on their willingness to sign IP, they also sign lots of product pack-pulled stuff too.

You can add SGA in there as well, but as far as the upper echelon players it’s Steph and Luka.

Lebron won’t touch a pen.

Kobefan · 08-02-2022, 09:58 AM

I don’t know who, but it has to be one of the guys who does regular card show signings for years.

90skid · 08-02-2022, 10:04 AM

Shaq is on this list for sure.

Dirk signed TTM over the span of his whole career

LovelyLlamas · 08-02-2022, 10:32 AM

How many stickers did Topps have left from Nick Young for 2008-09 Signature?

Unwrapit · 08-02-2022, 12:18 PM

Hakeem Olajuwon has signed a ridiculous amount, why I only target his early production.

Clyde Drexler has to be up there.

I’ve seen Dan Issel, Bernard King, Dan Majerle, Byron Scott, Dominique Wilkins and Dell Curry in a lot of sets through the years.

Licensed or IP/Aftermarket?
Only licensed should count.

Byron had a run where it seemed to be mandatory to include him

Dominique was a great suggestion

Lol maybe in your world but it’s gonna depend on the context of the person asking the question, OP simply asked ‘which players(s) has signed the most autographs?’

Lots of fakes out there being passed off as IP.

discodanman45 · 08-02-2022, 12:54 PM

The older HOF players have signed a lot! Jack Sikma, Bob Dandridge, Adrian Dantley, Spencer Haywood, Dan Issel, Alex English, Maurice Cheeks, George McGinnis, Sidney Moncrief, etc... Most of the lower tiered HOF players you can grab an on card auto for $5 to $7, stickers even lower than that. It is one of the cheapest ways to start a cool collection for $5 a card.

TBarn291 · 08-02-2022, 01:00 PM

Bill Walton has to be in this discussion. He has been churning out autos for products since the early 90s. He also signs a lot of IP stuff too.

TBarn291 · 08-02-2022, 01:15 PM

I don't know how accurate this is but I pulled these numbers from beckett. Just searched the player and filtered for autos.

Magic Johnson - 3978 (Panini Autos -1865)
Kobe Bryant - 3564 (Panini Autos - 2617)
Larry Bird - 3285 (Panini Autos - 1494)
David Robinson - 2334 (Panini Autos - 1399)
Shaq - 2151 (Panini Autos - 1330)
Michael Jordan - 2091 (Panini Autos - 0 )
Stephen Curry -1921 (Panini Autos - 1552)
Lebron James - 1528 (Panini Autos - 0)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 1446 (Panini Autos -1070)
Bill Russell - 1346 (Panini Autos - 553)
Bill Walton - 1342 (Panini Autos - 687)
Bill Laimber - 586 (Panini Autos - 373)

spurs50fan · 08-02-2022, 01:29 PM

David Robinson is the answer

Thats unique autos.
How about PR for each. If known!

Yeah I don't know, there isn't a filter for that lol. I feel like those numbers would be ridiculous.

Even if you estimated an average print run of say 20 copies per auto for Magic Johnson, that would be 80,000 autos. I’d probably take the over.

Dame · 08-02-2022, 02:28 PM

Saw a post on IG that Kobe has approximately 41,000 autographs in existence (UD, Topps, SB, Panini and Press Pass). Seems high but I won’t be surprised if true, his time with Panini was a collectors nightmare/dream.

Probably isn’t even close to the most autograph signed, since I don’t think he ever does convention signings. Older players who have tons of auto cards and many years of consistent auto signings in person (probably mostly through conventions) would have much more autos floating out there.

asujbl · 08-02-2022, 04:43 PM

Magic

That dude signs everything

I’m not saying just cares

His signed anything is a dime a dozen in 2022
