Why sign a cue with a crappy marker.

I can't blame you for thinking that Mully... its very hard to see any difference in his signatures especially if you don't have a couple side by side to look at. Just to clear up misconceptions, here are 5 examples of Ernie's signature... if compare them closely you will see the little variations in each one. Hope this helps :)

Thanks Brandon, I was busy scanning a few myself, you saved me the trouble....:) I was also scanning a few order forms, even those he signs the same way.......

Just like most of Ernie's work, beautiful and unique.

Gee, do we have a future on CSI:Miami????..........:)

i think searing's signature is among the best. mostly cuz its so small and precise with no marker runoff. another one i really like is rauenzahn's.

I like Keith Josey's signature -- it's very small and straightforward, and it always includes the year when he made the cue. I'm currently waiting for another John Parris, and I asked him to sign it since it's very custom... but since I've never seen his signature, I'm getting cold feet -- it might be a big silly marker-pen thingee.

Here is one to use to contemplate your belly button.

Many classical artists print their name on their works using a pen or brush. If not printed they are quite simple in structure.
I am thinking of people like Degas, Monet, Manet etc. I guess they want the viewer to look at the work not the signature.

Someone once asked Gus Szamboti why he never put his name on his cues. He response was, "my name never made a ball".
 
If I like the way a cue plays - the looks of the cue or the signature is not goint to stop me from buying it. imo.

Sharpie pens don't really work well for cues....I tried them early on. A better choice is as Dennis Searing & I use....the Pigma Micron pens. Available in different widths from arts/crafts stores.:)

I think Romeo Void said it best.

That's pretty much the only thing you two have in common. :D:D
