during spring training, i sent a few cards to the texas rangers' facility in hopes of an autograph or two. one was this thrashed 1978 topps clint hurdle rookie card:
hurdle is the hitting coach for the rangers this season, so i figured what the heck. it would be another 1978 topps to go in my auto binder. one of the other cards i sent was this 2008 upper deck vladimir guerrero card:
a few people had posted a ttm success with vladdy last season, so i thought it was worth 88 cents to give it a shot. well, last week, within a few days of each other, i received the cards back. neither were signed, but i did get this:
and this:
the hurdle came first, and i looked at it and deemed it likely to be legit because there were places where the pen is not completely solid. then vlad arrived, with the perfectly full pen strokes and figured that these are both autopen or just pre-printed. anyone else have an opinion?
so close, yet so far. thanks anyway clint and vlad!

no pretty sure they're legit. Kinsler did the sme thing to me.I've seen people get these back n say they're legit. I've seen Teagardens like this too. I think the Rangers as a team do this.
Nice Vlad. I've tried him 4 or 5 times over the years with no luck. I'd like to have the Vlad autograph but only in an Expos uniform....
