Wow. If there was ever a positive compliment to be paid to sticker autos, THIS is it! Good job UD.:thumbsup:
 
Hopefully with a card that big somebody at UD took some care and selected some of the nicer stickers for these guys. If any of them are cut off or ugly it`ll wreck it completely.

If you pull it, and it has an ugly auto, you can give it to me! Lol

That’s an awesome assortment.
 
Watch it be a redemption...only never to be fulfilled lol.

On a serious note, it's gotta be one of the best 8 way signatures ever produced!
 
I'm not mad its numbered to 5. That'll def be an epic pull for 5 lucky people. I'm going hard and heavy with this product!
 
The allure of multi signed - for me anyways - is that all the players on the card handled and signed the card.

Gretzky signing pages of stickers, or an auto from a player like Howe that has passed, ruins it for me. I understand that getting ink from multiple star players on the same card is a huge task for UD....but to me thats the whole point, having a card that is rare because of the effort required to obtain it.

I mean if I buy this card, and then transfer the stickers to all of these players RC cards, do I have a signed 79 Gretz or 51 Howe? Of course not. The sticker and the card are two separate entities.

Sorry to be a downer but it bothers me that they have an opportunity to do this card minus Howe with on card sigs and they default to slapping stickers on it.

I don’t like sticker autos. AT. ALL.

But for conformity sake and the fact Howe is included in the only way possible, this is one of those exceptions where I saw “bravo”, this card is pretty darn neat.

Fair enough. Seems I am the outlier here , nice to see excitement around a product so thats cool.

Haha, don't count on it as I'm unlikely to open any of the product. Whoever gets this card is gonna be happy, for sure. If the stickers are ugly though it diminishes the impact, however slight it may be. Arguably the best selection of players a card has gathered together all at once in the hobby's history.

You're definitely not. Sticker autos are quite a bit less desirable for many in the community. Some don't care and that's fine too. To get a card that has this many autographs on it... there really isn't any other easy way, unfortunately.
 
I’m firmly in the anti-sticker crowd. I like the idea of a finite amount of on card autos that lead to an increase in scarcity over time. We literally have no idea how many Howe sticker pages exist. Even at the expense of not having Howe on a card like this. UD had 15 years of SOTT to assemble something like this without using stickers.

I also agree in all cases that players handling cards adds value to the card in multiple ways. Sharing the experience with your favorite player handling the same card and the real possibility that handling of said card could cause condition issues. Which was the exact point of grading to begin with, not to wear latex gloves to transfer from a pack to a penny sleeve and immediately grade.

Since stickers are firmly in the hobby and will certainly not be going anywhere I just hope that UD had the foresight to have Howe sign in black and used stickers that can be incorporated in many products. Instead of like their competitor that uses multiple ink colors, multiple sticker sizes and multiple sticker colors.
