Which do you like the most?

Yeah, I Know that we all hate sticker autographs. But which one do you think is the best or is the worst?

Topps: (if you haven't seen them before, on the top it says Topps Certified and on the bottom it says Autograph Issue. It's kinda hard to see it)



Upper Deck: (the sticker with nothing on it, but in the light it says Authentic Autographs with a logo with an a all over it, you can't see the logos in the picture)


Donruss: (You can't see anything here again, but in the light it says Authentic Autographs (i think) all over it in the background.)


In my opinion, I sort of don't mind the Topps on that specific Beam Team (from Stadium Club) Autograph. But they look real bad in other places like Topps Sterling, which I think should go to on-card autos. They aren't that bad on Triple Threads, but I could also name some products where the sticker design sucks in. With the Upper Deck, I hate those stickers. The card is a Fleer one, but hopefully you know that Upper Deck owns Fleer and Fleer is closing down. It is an auto of Kevin Kouzmanoff from Fleer Ultra SE 2007, and is numbered out of 199. Everything about the card is nice except the stupid looking sticker in the middle of it. At least make it look nice or something, but just a plain old sticker that should have no use in the fun of opening packs. In Upper Deck Baseball Heroes 2008, I can't describe it, just look at the picture below:



Do you notice the extension off the corners of the sticker? That is just ugly, and in this case when I can live with that sticker somewhat, that extension just ruins it. Finally Donruss, my favorite football company, has sub-par autograph stickers. The example I have is a Leaf Certified 2008 autograph, which as you hopefully know Donruss owns Leaf, and it of Jermichael Finley. The stickers I can live with, but I don't like them all that much.

So give me your opinion on what you think. This is my order: 1) Topps, 2) Donruss, and 3) Upper Deck. My love for Upper Deck is starting to fade away somehow. Have you seen the 5 products written about by Wax Heaven? Spectrum, SPX, X, Icons, and Piece of History (which I like a little), he says look terrible. I agree with the first 4. They look like something you could pull in a Yugioh pack. As the companys get more advanced with technology, like Toppstown, Upper Deck U, Upper Deck Kids.com, and Topps Attax, what ever happen to those great products. I think I'll stick to 07 and 08 products thank you very much. Thanks for viewing, and see ya!

Catfish Day

Old Post:

11/30/2008
Whats up everybody, it's drewscards here, and I just went to the place my dad went to to buy me the Bernie and Jorge cards. So I got 2 Hobby packs of 2008 Topps Football, and 1 hobby pack of Series 2 Baseball. I got some nice inserts, like a Art Monk Hall of Fame card, and 2 Super Bowl Dynasties cards of Brent Jones and Emmitt Smith. I also got a Catfish Hunter jersey card separately. It's really nice, check it out above...

Mom's Birthday, Some Cards

11/30/2008

Whats up everybody, I got some cards on my mom's birthday, happy birthday mom! So anyway, my dad is going on his dream hunting trip in Saskatchewan, Canada, and before he left, we celebrated my mom's b-day, and when he originally bought her presents, the place he went to sold cards. So he bought me 2. Check them out below.

Yes, the 1st card is a Jorge Posada Rookie Card from Bowman's Best in the early 90's. A very nice card, as I needed it for my collection.


The final one is a Bernie Williams Bat Card from 2000 Piece of History. I really like this card, and also, I didn't have much Bernie in my collection. So thanks dad and good luck in Canada!
