Those things just look like IP AUs.

Well, in actuality, they are IP AUs :^)
Yeah, not well thought out at all on the Contenders autos.

Why, for crying out loud, can't Panini figure out that when you sign an autograph on the card, it would help if people were able to SEE the autograph on a card?
Who is hiring the designers for sportscards anyways? A bunch of monkeys or cavemen?
Sheesh, that is truly shameful. The companies have had twenty years of history to figure out this on-card autograph thing, and they still can't get it right- they are worse than our government. And this is freaking SPORTSCARDS.
Ugh. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::
