There have been some really BAD match-ups over the years.

Don't get me wrong, us card collectors love multiple autographed cards WHEN there is somewhat of a relationship between the two or three or four players involved. When companies "force" two autographs on a card, it can have really bad results. There are some combos that leave us scratching our heads- 2007 exquisite baseball was the first thing that came to my mind.

I mean, when a product is fresh, sometimes matching up a hall of famer and a rookie prospect can be interesting, but several years down the line.......ugh ::facepalm:: you have to ask yourself- what in the world was the company thinking?

Player collectors- do you actually go after these cards despite the horrendous other player choice on the card?

I would love to see what you think is the WORST player selection on a multi-player autographed card you have ever seen- I thought this would be entertaining for everyone.

How about a dual autograph card of Ryan Howard and........Justin Leone??

thanks for Upper Deck for that brainchild in 05 refelection. If there was ever a time to cut a card in half, this
would be a time to do it!

1998 Stadium Club Co-Signers Randy Johnson/Jaret Wright

I mean, at the time it seemed ok, since Wright was pretty hot but still.

I own a 2004 SP Chirography Triple autograph with Jose Reyes, Miguel Cabrera, and wait for it, BO PORTER!!

Jeez, that card would have been so sweet with even a decent young star instead of Porter!

Josh Hamilton has two Co-signers cards, one with Corey Myers, and one with BJ Garbe.

Before Hamilton came back, people must have looked at them and wept. Now, I look at mine and go 'Why?'

2005 Topps Rookie Cup Tom Seaver Wade Townsend

I pulled the card from a pack then decided shortly after to collect Towsend. Luckily I only bought 5 or 6 autos.

This remains my only Seaver auto.

Speaking of 2007 exquisite baseball, how about a dual auto of Cal Ripken Jr. and Don Kelly?

Or my personal favorite Ken Griffey Jr. and Jon Coutlangus ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Good gosh what was upper deck thinking.............That Coutlangus reduces the value of that card by at least a half.... ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Here's a few more favorites, borrowed from a fellow Dawson collectors' bucket :D

This whole set was full of badness on stickers :lol:

Ugh, you're right, I had totally forgotten about all that badness. 2004 sp prospects has got to be up there as one of the worst player combo sets in history...

Ms. Jackson would be very proud.

I guess the rookie/vet combo has turned out to be not so great an idea in most instances- have any ever worked?

Also, does anyone have any NASTY vet/vet combos? Those must be pretty challenging to find.

Tiger Woods and Lebron James
:lol:

Honestly, I couldn't agree with you more.

There are probably only a handful of athletes in the world who could appropriately be placed on the same autograph card as Tiger, and these include:

Michael Jordan
Jack Nicklaus
Arnold Palmer
Muhammad Ali
and maybe Wayne Gretzky

That's it.

I've commented before on a previous post regarding my feelings about the Lebron/Tiger pairing- Lebron doesn't belong on the card. Upper Deck really had to stretch this one out and connect the two by birthdays for crying out loud to justify making it. The non-inscipted ones really have no special meaning for me, and the inscripted one passes cause I doubt Tiger will ever inscribe his birthdate next to his autograph again.

This pairing has really got me concerned about Upper Deck and it's future use of Tiger in it's sports cards products. I really don't want to see a Tiger/Chris Paul dual, or a Tiger/Sidney Crosby dual or a Tiger/Ovechkin dual. I don't want to see Tiger/AP, Tiger/Peyton Manning, Tiger/Kevin Durant. Don't proliferate his autograph like they did with Jeter, Ripken and Griffey in 2007 exquisite baseball. There's really no reason for it. And hopefully Tiger puts his foot down and says NO to a potential Tiger/Jarome Iginla dual autograph. Please UD, just don't do it.

Yeah, I meant that Reflections had some really bad duals. The Ultimate is one of the best duals I've seen.
