What are your Favorite Stickered and Hard signed products?

[cfind]

This is NOT a Sticker vs. On card or Chrome vs Elite thread, but I would like to hear what your all time favorite products are with Sticker autos and with Hard signed autos of NON-prospects cards. Since I'm so new baseball, I'm only familiar with 2010 stuff, but would like to pick up some singles of older products.

Thanks!

2001 Topps Archives are the best on card autos that have ever been made. They are reprints of Topps rookie cards with clean on card autographs. It doesn't get any better than that.

As far as "sticker" autographs, I would have to go with the Sweet Spot autographs. They aren't foil or clear "stickers", but rather pieces of leather with stitching that look like the sweet spot of the baseball. They are thick cards. The only problem would be some premature fading on some issues (I think).

All.

card.
autos.

Tough to beat that. Man, that's a beautiful product. I don't have a favorite sticker auto product.

I agree with leatherman...any of the Topps Archives or Topps Fan Favorite sets. Love the reprint cards with great looking on-card autos. Or the Recollection Collection autos from DLP.

As for stickers...UD did a good job with 2008 Premier as it's hard to tell they're actually stickers...

Well, for stickered i'd have to say ex signing of the times auto/gu. Can't remember the exact year, think it was 03, or 04.


Non stickered I say is 1996 leaf signature series, I'm biased but how can you not love the set

 

[All In Cards]

2007 EEE, I think I opened 400 boxes

On the card would be 1996 Leaf Signature or 1998 Donruss Signature. Both were massive autograph sets that featured ALL on card autos.

For stickers, I really like all of the UD Premier autos. They look very clean and you can barely tell that there's a sticker.

Not certain about the sticker side, but for the hard-signed:

Topps Archives

In my younger days a retail break of 2001 Topps Archives yielded one of the most beautiful autographs I've ever pulled - 1952 reprint Hank Bauer autograph.

Too bad it was traded away a couple years ago. It helped me get two pieces to my 500 HR Club collection (Mays and Aaron) but it was tough to get rid of.

Sticker:

2005 Reflections

Nice design, nice checklist.

on card- 1996 leaf signature
sticker- 2006 topps co signers dual autographs

 

[TBTwinsFan]

On-card = Ginter (or any other framed product) or 2008 Finest
Sticker = 2007 Co-Signers or TTT

Favorite Stickered: 2002 Absolute signing bonuses

Hard Signed:

Although I am a big fan of 1996 Leaf Signature Series, for me it is tough to beat these 2 sets:

 

[JoshHamilton]

I don't consider Sweet Spot autos stickers. Phil Hughes posted pics a few years back of him signing the preconstructed cards. They leather pieces weren't signed then later affixed to cards

On card: 2005 UD Origins
Sticker: 2005 SP Authentic (update)

 

[Halonut]

you cannot go wrong with any of topps' retro themed on card auto sets (atff, heritage, a&g, t206, retired sig ed, archives, archives reserve, team topps legends, etc). ud has had some nice ones as well; ultimate collection, ud legends, yankee sig series, and my favorite ud issue 2003 sp authentic. it has a good mix of players and they are relatively affordable. here are a few samples from the bay...

On card:

2008 UD Masterpieces Stroke of Genius

Sticker:

2004 Leaf Certified Cuts

Thanks for all the great posts, all of those cards look fantastic!
The 2002 Absolute signing bonuses is amazing and I can remember cracking boxes and boxes of the 1996 Leaf Signature, they had a bunch of variations right? How I took for granted how rare on card auto's would become. Can you still pick up boxes of that stuff?

 

[piggy1918]

2005 Ultimate Signature has all on-card autos (or cuts), and has some VERY nice subsets. I am am currently collecting the HOF'ers from the Supremacy subset. I haven't read the whole thread so I wonder if wideright has posted yet...

For hard-signed, 09 SP Legendary Cuts. The Classic Signatures /10 and Future Legends with varied numbering, plus clean design for both. Can't think of a sticker product off the top of my head.
