The Atlanta Braves 2012 Opening Day signature field collectible features a large glossy photo of Turner Field with facsimile signatures superimposed on it.
The 10" x 18" ballpark photo was taken on April 13, 2012, when the Braves played their home opener against the Brewers, and the signatures of all of Atlanta's starters on that day are placed in the players' respective positions on the field. Also included are signatures from most of the other players on the Braves' season opening roster. The name of each player is beneath their signature, of which there are 22.
Presented in a black wood frame, the entire piece measures 12" high by 20" wide and only 2,012 were made. Each is individually numbered below the Braves logo in the lower right-hand corner of the photo, which is protected by plexiglass.

2012 Atlanta Braves Signature Field Detail
The Braves Signature Field contains facsimile signatures. A facsimile signature is an exact copy of a player's real autograph. So the signatures you see look real, but they are actually reproductions.
Signatures from the 9 Braves home opening day starters and 13 additional team members are on the photo of Turner Field. Those players are listed below:
Signatures of the starters:
Jair Jurrjens, Brian McCann, Freddie Freeman, Dan Uggla, Tyler Pastornicky, Martin Prado, Matt Diaz, Michael Bourn, Jason Heyward
Signatures of others on the 2012 opening day roster:
Brandon Beachy, Jose Constanza, Juan Francisco, Tommy Hanson, Eric Hinske, Chipper Jones, Craig Kimbrel, Cristhian Martinez, Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, David Ross, Jonny Venters, Jack Wilson
* Chipper Jones' signature is listed at third base even though Martin Prado was the starter there for the home opener
