PSA SET REVIEW
PSA Q & A Question: I have encountered some autographs where the player only signed their first name instead of their whole name. Is that considered less desirable?Answer: Generally speaking, yes, autographs that contain only the first name are usually less desirable than full name signatures. You may have seen letters signed "Babe" instead of Babe Ruth or "Lou" instead of Lou Gehrig. If a person was writing to a very close friend, they would often sign the letter with their first name only. That isn't always the case but it happens often. As a result, those items tend to sell for less than items that exhibit full name signatures because collectors want to see the entire name of the signer. There have been exceptions... where first name signatures have sold for tremendous prices. In those cases, however, it was the content of the letter or the importance of the item itself that carried the value... not the signature
