I am an old school vintage collector. I have been make sets since the early 60's and have gone back to do sets before I was born. I voted for more unique cards. I loved the fact that each year in the 50's and 60's the cards looked so different. Now It is hard to tell sets of most cards apart unless you turn the card over. Autographs do very little for me .I have a 1600 count box of nobody autographs I have accumulated making sets. Boxes are full of mostly worthless autos. It doesn't matter how many autos per box if you have spent $150 or $200 on a box and 3 of your 4 autos never made a team. Redemptions stink and some companies never even send them out. I love old vintage and the unique inserts of the 90's. Would much rather get a one per box insert of Barry Sanders or Michael Jordan than some auto of a player that never dresses for a game. I would bring back the great inserts of star players . Lastly , event worn cards are an absolute joke. I coached a former first round draft pick as a high school football coach and he explained how he wore a jersey for 20 seconds at a NFL photo shoot so they could sell the jerseys for cards. Even game worn products are questionable.
