Faded Sweetspot Autos
Hey guys
While searching for a needle in a haystack (card I had sold, but. Couldn't find when I went to mail it,) came across seveal Sweetspot autos I had picked up several years ago. Most of the signatures have faded into oblivion. ..Shouldn'tUpper Deck have the obligation to replace those cards? They should of known the correct. Ink to use.
Hard to resell the cards if the auto isn't there.
Any thoughts?

Upper Deck still exists? I haven't seen anything from them in years.
If they're still around, they should do something ... I've got 3 or 4 that are ruined, too.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

This is the common denominator with the sweet spot autos, I beleive i read somewhere it was the ink used or something. Theres also a year in which its more common than others.

And tons of hockey...pretty much all hockey. So if you are looking for retribution looks like you are in line for a Connor McDavid, or Sidney Crosby auto. Most likely you would get a scrub from the Florida Panthers (no offence directed at Panthers fans). My Verlander Sweet Spot is pretty invisible also.
