How do you take a somewhat decent idea and totally ruin it??

Leave it to Leaf

Leave it to Leaf to what? Use a sticker auto? Yeah, that has never been done before by any company in any card product. Leaf is the devil.

I like it and if the only way to get that card produced is by using a sticker, I'm all for it.
No, to ruin a halfway terrible idea

So if the Gophers had actually had a player with some discernable amount of talent, who was able to make his way into a Leaf Draft product, you wouldn't buy it, because Leaf ruins great ideas?

Enjoy chasing Adam Weber in 2011 UD products, I guess.
Who is Adam Weber? I never heard of him.

He was probably the 15th best QB in the Big Ten, last year.

Tim & Wheeler- The sky is falling! The sky is falling! It must be snowing in hell when a Bengals fan and Steelers fan get along. ;) I know that joke gets old, but you guys are great in my book.

Like them or not, stickers are here to stay. I just wish that the companies (mainly Topps) would take the time to make them look decent. If you are putting multiple sticker autos on a card, I don't see why you wouldn't have them all be the same style: clear, silver, or whatever. Also, having them applied straight would be a plus. Those are my only 2 real complaints about stickers.
:lol:

I feel like I should bash the Bengals now to restore order to the world.

:lol: :lol:

JH- Well played sir. Well played.

I'm just talking smack. I like the Bengals. I think they'll be an 11 win team in 2 seasons.

There is one thing about Cincy that concerns me though. At least their front office. They drafted Andy Dalton. Nothing against Dalton, but he's a Ginger. The Bengals wear orange.

Do they have ANY idea how badly red and orange clash? Have they EVER seen an episode of Project Runway?

No worries. Being a lifelong Bengals fan, I've heard plenty of smack and trash talk. Unfortunately, its usually pretty well deserved. :lol:

Their problems start at the top, Mike Brown. He's definitely not his father and he does a poor job of trying to run a team.

they may be bringing money, but only cause there aren't a whole lot of options out right now. I think the OP
was not commenting on "just another sticker auto" which I think this card is, but the fugly design. This card
was made to be signed on card, it just looks silly to slap a sticker on it. If you knew the cards were going to
have stickers on them, then there should of been a place for them so they look like part of the card. These
cards make it look like leaf is trying to pull one over on us and that they are hoping we might not notice
the sticker...fail

Yes, these cards were designed to be signed. A clear sticker on these cards doesn't look nearly as bad as when Topps puts sticker autos on their Letterman cards. That is a truly epic fail.

Really? Because I have to say the card almost begs to have a signature on it!

Either way, cool card!

Place a sticker autograph on it.

I think it was ruined even before the adhesive got skeeted on it.

LOL.... Good thing we only made 25 of them, huh?
I am so glad we didnt make enough that EVERYONE had to love the card.

I really wish autographed cards were actually "autographed cards"...

If I pulled that it would make a hell of a Dr. Destructo sequence. :lol: I can see it already... BO vs Bubba!

So that is on card.... but the first card isnt. How was it possible to get this on card... but the first was impossible?

Also... isnt Bubba Starling the new Matt Wieters?? BG with the help of the FCBers who have his ear talked him into making special US Army cards of Bubba... but not of any other player.... so if this is the case... why couldnt BG climb aboard a plane and spend 30 min to an hour with Bubba to get on card signatures??

Just noticed the Nebraska hat on the Bubba Classic knock off... thought UD had the College license???

The bubba on cards were printed in advance using tour photos.. Game shots and posed shots (Bo) were done after the signing... Bg

I love the Army product, but hate this years "packout"

I personally loved the base set from the previous years, and when I saw them at the lcs with only hits and no base I decided not to purchase any this year. Kind of disappointing......
