Great research and very interesting to read. I've been going through my 90's boxes lately and have a new appreciation for them.

Nice article. Star Pics (I guess they are/were considered a trading card company) has some interesting autos from its 1991 release. Looks like also they had a small run in 1992 (collegiate sports and non sports) and then went kaput. Most valuable appears to be the Brett Favre, but quite a few hockey players included. Almost all the hockey were heavily airbrushed to get rid of all team logos, etc.

Yes, Star Pics and its "CardArt". I recently acquired a set of its 1991 Prospects and when I opened the box, the cards were sealed together as a brick. There was no pulling them apart without destroying them all. So I destroyed them all...and no autograph! 
There's definitely a post to be done about the autos in these unlicensed companies, but I'm not the guy to do it. I didn't collect them and have no knowledge base to even start from.

I posted a video on this. It has a robust 41 views lol. I show the Oates card and the embossing on it during the 45 second mark of the video.

I know of someone who opened 4 cases of the stuff back in 91 hoping to find that very card.

That’s the one. I remember the disappointment of that card never being mentioned moving forward and then ultimately just not existing.

A Locker All-Stars Howe autograph sold over the weekend on eBay. I didn't bid because the card was a little more dinged up than I'd like, and it looks like the autograph has faded a bit. Still, someone nabbed a legit Howe autograph for $20.
Notice the hologram on the back of the autographed card is a diamond, compared to the rectangle/oval hologram on the back of the normal header card in the last picture.

Since putting together this thread, I have managed to acquire two of these autos.
Alexandre Daigle - As expected, when this card popped up, it didn't break the bank. I got a French version.
Gordie Howe - Armed with the knowledge that a diamond hologram distinguished the card from an in person auto, I found and purchased once for just $40, which I thought was pretty good for a certified Gordie Howe. Thanks again to TADon'tAsk for this valuable information.
