How many THOUSAND signed Hank Aaron, Willie Mays & Sandy Koufax Auto Stickers does Topps have in their vault. I can't even imagine all the auto cards Topps will release after they pass away!

I HATE auto's on stickers!!!!

    At least they're legit. Better than the Philly area dealer that couldn't understand why insisted that his signed 1985-86 OPC Pelle Lindberg cards were bogus...

    So once they are dead, are they considered "ghost" signatures??? image

    I wonder what the oldest sticker autograph used down the road is?

    I'm still waiting for a "Rest in Peace" sticker auto subset. Could you imagine a set of all the deceased players Topps still has sticker autos of?

    The from the grave subset could be called "When They Had A Pulse" The first 5 cards could be Musial, Carter, Sparky, Killebrew and Feller.

    Yeah, they can make a card of the death certificate and place the sticker on it! Then they could do the 1 of 1 death certificate refractor auto.

    Good thing Ruth and Mantle kicked the bucket before Topps started hording autos on stickers!

    Seriously... How many Aaron and Mays stickers does Topps have stashed away for when they pass away?

    I agree! Autos on stickers, slapped on cards, is in extremely bad taste! image

    I don't think Topps has any Mays stickers sitting around that aren't already committed to redemption cards.

    Montreal Pays Loving Tribute to Gary Carter

    During a spring training game the other night between the Blue Jays and Mets, they brought back some famous Expos, and had a fantastic ceremony for Gary Carter. Totally teared up watching this.

    I will NEVER collect sticker auto's. They just give me that "they did not sign this item feeling". They signed a sticker that was slapped on something they never saw or touched.

    Exactly how I feel about bookplates.
