Does every player who has a card numbered to /20 also have cards with different print runs like /5 and /1?

Love the autos from this set, just wish you would have done something extra for the non auto buybacks instead of just adding a logo and serial number :(

Love the way they did non auto buy backs. With each having a super low print run and each with it's own unique serial number. The Leaf Memories 2012 buy back logo has nice placement and not overly big, but clear to see. Each version has it's own color foil stamping, /20 silver, 5/ gold and 1/1 red is nice.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

Not sure what would have made it better. Maybe a glossy or refractor finish.

I hope you are. So do buy back program with a name you bought and own of iconic set, but then somehow make them glossy or refractors like something from the 2000's? You can't take some older card and just make them glossy or turn them into refractors. Then they wouldn't be original buy backs. Leaf kept it simple and making each card with it's own foil serial number is more than Topps, UD, Donruss did with buy backs.

Cards to me are perfectly fine and well done. If you don't like don't buy them.

I like the autos, they are sweet! Not many people can argue they're not.

The non auto buybacks are kind of lame in my opinion because for the most part, theyre just 25 cent base cards with an added stamp.

All I'm saying is I wish Leaf would have done something to make them more unique.

Not a huge fan of them but I will still pick up some of them as a player collector.

The buybacks are just fine. I have a player in the set (thanks BG!) and I've already locked down 3 of 20 and 1 of 5, and I love them, and I'm not one for buybacks.

I actually like the buybacks in this set. I thought they were very well done unlike the topps/donruss buybacks from the early 2000s. Those cards are very difficult to find with that dumb embossed stamp on them.

I have both Belles (/20 and /5), I just wish Beckett would recognize them on player checklists...
