What is an inscription?
Some athletes will have special inscriptions that they add to the autograph, such as “SB XVII MVP” (Super Bowl 17 Most Valuable Player), “1971 AL MVP” (American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1971), and so forth. Not all players have these inscriptions, and not all correspond to an award. Some might be from a special play like Dwight Clark’s “The Catch” or the date of a pitcher’s perfect game or a career milestone such as their number of wins, strikeouts, etc. Some athletes charge extra for inscriptions, some do not. Most of the time, an inscription will add value to an autographed piece.
