Default Pedro Martinez or Randy Johnson?

Hey guys I'm going to the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectactular show this weekend in Chicago. I'm mainly going to get something signed by Marcus Mariota. I entered a contest on their Facebook page and won a contest for either a Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez autograph ticket. Not too sure about baseball so which one would be better to get? Any input would be appreciated!

Randy Johnson. He's a much tougher autograph free in person and he's always priced much more than Pedro.

Randy Johnson only because he killed a bird with a fastball

They are both solid. If you're just getting an auto, RJ has a nicer signature. He probably sells a bit better too.

I think it depends on the item that you want to get autographed to be honest.

If you are looking for a photo, or baseball to be autographed then Randy Johnson would be the better choice.

If you are looking to get a jersey autograph then choose Pedro Martinez, as Randy Johnson will not autograph jerseys unless it has other signatures on it (I believe a minimum of 5).

Why would he have that requirement? Dont autos devaluate when theres tons of them on the same item?

He has said that he only signs those jerseys for charity. Apparently it works too as they go for pretty big money at auction.

All these fine people below are wrong,
The only correct answer is Pedro on a MLB and send it to me.

Randy Johnson by a landslide.

Pedro is still a very good pitcher.

I would actually take Pedro, but that's just me.
