1415 Ud buy backs

[hang time]

I've always thought that the cards that are hand numbered were numbered by the players who were signing them...example (and a chance to show it off again):

Now that I even look at the bure above the ink between the numbering and auto aren't consistent...

But now that 1415 has come out I question whether the hand signed cards are signed by the players or some random Ud employee. I mean why have the player hand sign their cards numbering and not actually autograph the card?

the numbering is put on by UD, not by the players. It is consistent hand numbering across all releases.

Upper Deck does it. This is for quality control purposes as much as anything else. If a player signs ten copies and screws up the marking, now there's only nine.

They do so many hand-numbered cards, auto'd and non-auto'd alike, that it's just easier to do it in house.

That makes me wonder. For times when players sign on cards that have a stamped serial number, are those numbers added before or after the player signs the cards?
