It's not a throwback uni. It's what they wore in the early 80s.

You knew what I meant...it was an old picture with the '80s uniform on the card.

If this is an accurate sample, this looks like one of the most boring products ever made.

Sometimes I love these threads -- then there's sometimes I sit and hope that one card that I am looking to pick up doesn't end up on it.

After looking at multiple case breaks over on BO, it looks like your typical Topps higher end product.
I'm not surprised anymore, whenever they say two autos per box, you know it isn't going to be quality autographs.
Tier 1 is far from an accurate description of this product. Waaay too many Angel Pagans, Tyson Ross (who?), David Cooper, and Alex White type guys for me. In what Bizzaro world are these guys considered a top tier? And the Rickey Henderson redemtpion for a jersey relic is pretty funny as well.

Please refer me to an on-card autograph product of this nature that doesn't involve a large number of "dogs." I remember busting a good bit of Donruss Signature in 1996-1998, and let me tell you, there were a ton of garbage autographs. Boxes of Archives cost $70 bucks and it wasn't uncommon to have about a $10-$15 ROI. Upper Deck products were infamous for producing a limited number of amazing chase cards at the expense of having brutal dud boxes rather commonplace. I understand the frustration around this fact, but I'm not exactly sure what people want, other than for card companies to take huge losses and go out of business. These cards are everything that collectors say they want in HOF, All Star, and rookie autographs: --pics deleted--
Buying these products has always been a gamble and always will be. I think the wise move is to let other people rip and buy the singles. But to kill this product this early strikes me as unfair given what collectors say they want out of this type of product.
