  • Sticker Autographs Rule!


    Okay... maybe I'm getting a little carried away. I'll rephrase that.


    This 2010/11 Crown Royale "Scratching the Surface" autograph rules!


    In fact, this card looks so awesome... that Beckett has listed these as "on-card" autographs. Personally, I think Panini just did an amazing job of blending a sticker autograph into the design of their card. Sure, there's still the fact that the player never actually held the card... but I definitely think they took a huge step in the right direction.


    Actually... the process is quite simple. They printed stickers that look like hockey rinks and had The Big Pavelski sign them. Then, they embedded the sticker into a card with a "shadow box" sort of effect, so it hides the edges of the stickers.


    Leonardo de Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". Although I wouldn't say this is always true... it seems to fit this particular situation.


    Kudos to Panini. If you're going to continue using sticker autographs... then at least you're headed in the right direction. Heck... you tricked Beckett into thinking they're on-card.


    And... if by chance... they actually are on-card... which I'm 99% positive they're not... then take my brilliant idea (which is really quite simple) and get to work. Ugly sticker autos have flooded our hobby for over 10 years... it's time to end this disease...and you're holding onto the vaccine.


    Shoot... maybe one day... you'll actually start hearing collectors say "sticker autographs rule!".


    Have a happy Monday... Sayonara!

            I agree.... they're here to stay

            But I agree... it's nice that they're trying to make them look better.
