wow that is the most horrible autograph i have ever seen.even if i could afford it i wouldn't it so horrible i mean could they not just cut his auto from one of their cards instead of that photo thing.ugh

[sketchqueen]

Why indeed? BOTH signed authentic autos just last year for Heritage. And it is UG-LY!!!

With efforts like these, you might as well not bother! It puts even the triple autograph to shame

Hideous!

[Roz]

Well I am glad we agree... it seems such an odd thing to make!

[saruman]

ya i wonder what they were think maybe they hate cards or sometinhg but i don't think a person with a soul could make that.lol

Question: is there a box with these in it

[Roz]

No, it's 1/1 cut - this is the only one in existance, hence the price.

This will have been in a box at sometime I suppose but I've no idea of the set

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Oh, so how does people get them I mean its not like you just open something you get in the mail and there it is

[Roz]

Well - for instance there are 1/1 Walt Disney autos hidden in DIsney Treasures boxes.

You just have to find the right pack. Sound easy? ?

[EmmasOneandOnly]

How many boxes are they

[Roz]

Lots and lots and lots, I don't think Upper Deck ever said

That dual star wars auto comes from a Baseball high end box.  They call the series Topps Tribute, they are about $250-$350 a box.  There are certainly some great cards to be pulled from that product.  Mostly it is retired hall of fame players, but there are some cuts inserted, too.  I think there is about 6 packs in a box.

Only for high end collectors, you could certainly end up with an unbelievable card(s), but you certainly could end up with about $50 worth of card, too.

Not the most solid investment, but if you like the chance of getting something rare high end boxes are the way to go.  I do buy a few high end boxes here and there, I actually bought a $375 box of hockey high end and ended up with a real nice auto'd patch # 9/10 of my favorite player, I acutally saw one sell on ebay for $425  But I am keeping it, maybe my favorite card I have.  Of course I have had it go the other way too.

cool i wonder where you can get boxes like that not that i could afford it but still was that the set with the Popes autograph in it. that would be a great pull i think or any of the american presidents/historical figures

Thanks for the background Becks, very interesting.

If any interesting Non Sports card boxes go that way the Yak's nostrils will be flaring and flaming
