This card might spark something new

BBCgalaxee · Nov 6, 2013

Yes it's basketball but when this card makes headlines for selling for $30k, hopefully the baseball market will take note.

Generally, it's never been done before outside of 2004 authentix but how cool would a 16 auto trout card be (stickers or not)

Wait, all 16 of the autos are Jordan? Am I missing something, but what's the point? Maybe if they were all different or something ? (MJ 23, MJ 45, M Air J etc) but what is the point of 16 of the same autos in one booklet?

Straight from the Department of Reducancy Department. Big and boring, IMO.

This This This... I don't get it...

I thought for a minute they'd be autos from like each year he was in the league or maybe the OPer is saying that it'd be cool for Topps to save one sticker that someone like Trout sighs each year he is in the league and do a card like this 16 years from now?

At the end of the day, I think it's pretty stupid.

Oh no doubt it's over kill but there's a chance this card could sell for totally insane money.

That might spill over to other sports markets and like it or not, it's different, New and exciting to the ones chasing

Mark me down for one each in the "why would anyone make that" and "why would anyone buy that for outrageous sums of money" columns.

Reminds me of these stupid cards from 2004 Fleer Authentix:

I know you're a dealer, but your way of thinking is one reason why the hobby sucks today.

Can't say I think it's worth too much more than an item with 1 MJ auto on it with the same print run. If rather have more photos , better design n 1 auto.

Wow, it would be cool to own 16 Michael Jordan signatures, but all on one booklet? Trying to decide how I would feel about this if it was Dawson. I am a pretty crazy Andre Dawson collector but I have never thought about having a double signed item before.

One of the dumbest things I have seen.

Agreed. Really dumb and really really ugly.

This is the first thing I though of when I read the post.

They should have done an inscription auto instead

Hawk8 · Nov 6, 2013

1 auto and 15 inscriptions would be better IMO, that is what I would want if it was a Dawson card

Agreed. One would suffice....would it not? Meh.

All the MJ pictures look different, but they look like college year pics? Can't read the inscription under his name of each one.

Upper Deck Employee 1: "Hey I have 16 extra MJ auto stickers left over, what should be do with them?"
Upper Deck Employee 2: "Just stick 'em all in this booklet & be done with it"

But that 2nd card with 16 different players is pretty cool.

A_Pharis · Nov 6, 2013

So, instead of making 15 extra MJ hits in the product, they just stick them on one ugly card? Awesome idea. Baseball should totally do that. (and the Dice-K card was one of those cards where the redemption holder got to pick the subjects, and he picked all Dice-K.)
