Not too bad imo. Great looking set

I like them! Thanks for sharing the pics.

Yeah, very nice. It's hard to be totally disappointed by Tier One. You might not 'kill it' every time, but usually the product is very satisfying. The card thickness, design, photo and on-card auto are a nice combo. Even their relics are well designed. Tier One, Tribute & Five Star are all in that upper range product but priced decently as compared to the ultra-high end (Destiny?) cards from Topps, which are out of my spending range completely.
BTW: Torii Hunter's autograph is very nice. Very 'throwback' to the days where Killebrew, Musial, Mantle, etc were very legible. It's good to see someone today that takes his/her time with quality penmanship! Too many people just scrawl their initials as fast as possible instead of taking the extra 3 seconds to care just a little.

Torii came up during that time with the Twins when Killebrew made sure the young guys were good at signing autographs. I know he absolutely destroyed Cuddyer early on, and he went on to have one of the best ones out there. Good chance Torii got the message from Harmon early on.

I guess that explains it pretty well! That is a legacy that nobody talks about!
Great info, Jared! Thanks for sharing!
Harmon's autograph is probably the most consistent beautiful sig in baseball. Every time he signed, it was as if he were signing the Declaration of Independence!
I don't recall ever seeing one that was rushed or scrawled !
In contrast, and probably due to advanced age or vision or ... Stan Musial's once beautiful sig deteriorated with time. The last 'sticker set' was very shaky and nearly unrecognizable. He must have been sticker-signing a ton, since his auto was appearing in product several years after he passed.

+1 Agreed on all those points! That Redemption is not too shabby either! Looks like you got the case hits in 2 box's! Congrats!

Yea I was happy to pull a Hunter auto. Have always liked players that actually sign their name, crazy concept haha

[jbissell]

I love silver ink autos, and that Hunter is gorgeous! Congrats!
