Worst autograph idea of 2008?

[nevermore]

What set takes home the prize? Please vote.

 

[Rudzud]

First of all..the paw print AG's sold for crazy money. Hell..I wish I owned one. But uhh..weren't those in the 2007 AG, not the 08 version.

Also...someone go ta picture of the "bigfoot" auto? How does a monster truck sign a card?

Edit: Apparhently its a tiretread.

 

[blanning71]

So it ran over the card with ink on it's tire? I bet thats gonna be hell for BGS to grade the surface of that card!

 

[nevermore]

Those Ginter cards were some of the non-traditional "autos" that came to mind, I didn't realize that the paw print was from 2007.

what were they on when they were thinking about big foot autos...

I voted for co-signers because I don't like the set all around. I wish they would discontinue the whole set. I don't really know what I voted for, but it had cosigners in it, so I figured I couldn't go wrong.

A close second for me would be A&G. I collect baseball personally, so I'm not a fan of pulling non baseball cards. This is another bran I wouldn't mind seeing leave our hobby in the near future. I guess its great for set builders, but I dislike this brand almost as much as Donruss Americana personally.

Seriously. I am not a fan of both and I am not just a bowman/EEE guy. I break Authetnic (which i haven't touched this year), masterpieces, Triple Threads (yuck), topps chrome, etc and co-signers by far is my least favorite. I just htink besides the prospecting side of the hobby, wax has just been terrible. Bring back 05 Leaf, absolute, origins, etc! (I never bought any but looking back I wish i was into the hobby back then).

Co-signers is a complete train wreck of a product, but at least boxing is a sport with a significant fan base and does not have a lot of cards.

Adding oddball autos is part of what makes A & G a great product, so I actually like that.

Then we have the 'Topps Employee' autos, which were a bonus in Finest so they were a quick flip onto the Bay if you came across one when opening your high end product. Nothing really wrong with that.

That leaves us with the scouts. Why should I care about people who 'discover' the people I watch? I don't even want an auto of all the players I watch! Maybe is some weird sub-level of player collecting, but thats a HUGE stretch. Other than to build the set, there was NO point to scout autos. Oh, and they weren't a bonus auto in Jumbo boxes. At least not the two I opened.

I don't consider A & G \a baseball set, I consider it an americana-type set based around baseball players.

edit: eh, but that wasn't the point of your post, i gotcha now....

Yea its cool

I really dislike all americana type sets personally, and thats why my 3 cases of Donruss Threads went to the bay once I saw what people were pulling.

I just want a good HOF gu/auto set to come out again, and for now it looks like Prime Cuts will bring back hope for me.

Top 10 hits from each?

I would have to say the Scout autos were a poor decision on Topps' part. Then following after that were the rip girl autos.....really? What were they thinking? Oh well, atleast I have my Garbage Pail Kids to keep me intrigued.

Don't really have any left, but didn't do too awesome. I'll just give the five best of each that I can recall since I don't remember everything I pulled:

07 BC

-F mart X-fractor auto
-Joba Refractor auto
-Betances Orange Refractor auto
-Cahill Blue refractor auto
-Licy base refractor auto

07 BCDP

-Burgess Blue Refractor auto
-Hagadone Gold Refractor auto
-Mesoraco Orange Refractor auto
-Mills Gold Refractor auto
-Bumgarner Blue Refractor

I regret selling most of them, especially now when you think of what some of these cards get

 

[darocker80]

2007 BC treated you nicely. I would've said the same for 07 DRAFT except the fact you opened 3 cases

Yea, I usually do good on wax but Draft has never treated me well when I bust it. Thats why I try to just bust Bowman Chrome, and jst buy singles of draft. Never really works out though I usually end up busting some draft
