Jacque Jones, who now plays right field for the Newark Bears, was once considered a potential future star for the Minnesota Twins. Although he had some nice seasons, Jones never quite lived up to expectations. When Jones left Minnesota following the 2005 season, he began a journey that would send him to the Chicago Cubs, Florida Marlins and Cincinnati Reds organizations. Now he’s a Newark Bear, trying to earn one more shot at the big leagues.

The Fleer Platinum card pictured above is one of two that Jones signed for me last weekend. He has a very distinct, artistic signature — and I can’t make out a single letter. I do like the way it looks on the card, though.

This is the other card he signed for me last weekend. I don’t really like the way it came out — it gives me the creeps. With the looping lines over his eyes and mouth, the photo on the card makes me think of zombies and occult curses.
