Complaint (2007 Allen and Ginter)

This is a set that I have just started working on. I am getting TTM's autographs and have pretty good success. I am thinking about branching out into the cards that have already been signed in the packs. Two things are really bothering me about doing that:

1. The autographs are so small or scrunched up to fit on the mini card. When the people sign their full cards, the autograph looks 100% better IMO.
2. Could Topps have used a different envelope? to seal the card into place? It looks like they just used the same plastic with the square hole cut out(like the relic cards) to seal the autograph mini cards. IMO this takes away from the look of the autograph plus the autograph could be damaged at some time in the future.

Just some randon thoughts.

    I agree with you on point 2 in paticular. I really think that make the auto cards look crappy. IMO
  • i have heard they look nice if you remove them from the holder. won't be able to sell it as easily but it will look nice image

    i have debated on doing it for my relic collection.
