Lame UD Cut Autograph Card

Anyone recognize where this cut autograph came from
Stargell Cut Auto

Here's a Hint
Hint

Just makes me mad that they have to resort to the cheapest of cheap autos to make their overpriced crap. I wouldn't be surprised to see them cut their own cuts in the future.

    I like the irony of the fact that they cut one auto'd card to make another auto'd card.
  • Wow, pathetic....

  • Which one do you think will sell for more the off center hack job or the full card?

    You can buy it now the original auto card for about 1/2 the current price of the 1/25 UD POS.

    The ugly hack job has to sell for more. Anybody doing the complete cut set needs that card, and there's only 25 of them. Worst idea ever by card companies.

    I have seen them cut a 2001 UD Legends auto of Johnny Unitas to make a newer lower serial numbered insert.

    stupid idea. I would rather have the original 01 Legends card instead of a mutilated one on a new card with part of the autograph obscured.

    Wow, wouldn't I be some pi$$ed if I pulled that piece of junk! Ruin one autograph card to make another. Thats just a sad statement about the state of the new card "hobby".

    So if they take a auto card that had a print run of 1,000 back in the day and cut one and made a 1/1 "new" auto card out of it, people would buy it for hundreds, possible thousands of dollars? Our society is going down.

    They cut those crap Walter Payton phone card autos to make his Legends autos. It is pretty dumb idea. My friend and I were talking about how in the 01 Legendary Cuts they had 74 Roger Maris cuts and they were all the same on paper. They were not checks, but how do you find that many Maris sigs that are on the same surface?
  • KnucklesKnuckles Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭
    Wow, lazy.. but if people keep buying the packs why should they bother changing their ways. I believe that's what they're thinking anyway.

    The only thing worse would be PSA grading already graded PSA cards. Now you would have to keep the case gem mint and scratch free.
    So you could have the first Jordan Rookie PSA 10 10

    Agreed - that is horrible. I also agree that the 2002 UD Legendary Cuts card is brutal...who the hell would pay for the crap. Isn't the 2002 UD Legendary Cuts Walter Payton cut from a photo? It looks terrible also. I own 2 Legendary Cuts cards; Vince Lombardi from a check and Jimmy Conzelman from a paper cut - and both look wondeful.

    The only way the Legendary Cuts type cards look nice is 1. When they're cut from checks, index cards or paper cuts, and 2. not cut off!!! I can't tell you how many "cut" auto's I've seen where 1/3 of the signature has been hacked off or is hidden under the border.

    Way to wreck an already nice signed card. Nice going Upper Deck.
    Their marketing people are terrible.

    While I do not like the look of these cut/signature cards...I believe they are made from personalized items someone could not seel but at a very low price which Upper Deck gladly bought...

    The Wilhelm I pulled last weekend is almost as bad.
    I collected those postcards as a kid and had a lot of TTM autographs on them. Might have even had this one.

    It is such a nice looking card too, too bad they had to ruin it .

    I like the way the legendary cuts cards look
