Upper Deck Replacement Card - How did I do?

[FallLikeTheWall]

Hi All,

So about a month ago I bought a number of boxes including a 2014-15 Fleer Ultra box. I have actually done pretty well with these boxes and my luck continued! Well kind of:

Something seemed to be missing. I thought maybe I was confused and pulled the Non-Auto version, but it clearly states auto in the upper right hand corner and the back has all the standard wording for an Auto card. The other weird thing is that there is no Autograph version of this Crosby card in the checklist for Fleer Ultra. So my guess is that this card should have never been placed into packs at all. So I contacted Upper Deck and they had me send it in for a replacement. Today I got the replacement:

Not sure how I feel. On one hand the Sign of the Times is a hard signed auto and you can never go wrong with that, but the Fleer National Heroes card (if it was every made) was numbered out of 25. I guess it all depends on how much sticker autos bother you. Either way I now have a Crosby Auto card so that is a big plus.

Let me know what you guys think. I am open to trades, looking for Rangers in Return. Would consider selling as well.

WIN WIN for you and maybe me? lol. CMB and PM me a price. :)

This is awesome, and I think you did very well, considering this card (probably) wasn't supposed to be packed out at all, and thus never would have made this replacement possible :)

..And in the end, you gained quite the hard signed Crosby auto. Winner!

Congrats!

Cant complain on any signed Crosby card. Nice.

The SOTT will be popular with set builders!

That's a pretty strong replacement. SOTT are always a highly desirable card. It would have been cool to get the /25 with the flag (particularly with the timing of the World Cup ongoing) but this is a nice, nice card.
