2009 Topps Update

[subject to change]

Has anyone gotten any of the cards from this set signed? I just got a few singles in the mail from sportlots in preparation for Piratefest, and the cards seem to have a heavier gloss than the 09 main set. The stock feels similar to the 07 set, with which I had a ton of problems with autographs bubbling. If anyone has any cards signed, how well did the signatures take?

Even after heavily rubbing and powdering the cards, I have found the autos still tend to bubble on the 07 set. Hopefully I won't have the same problem this year.

I had trouble with some of the update cards at Royals Fanfest. My Chris Getz card looks like crap and I thought the 04 Southern League Prospects /2006 Tristar set was hard to prep. These are killer. Really debating if I want to include them in my overall 2009 Topps set.

No prepping:

Finger rub shortly before being signed:

Now I had a hard time with 09 Bowman, anybody else have that problem?
