First Look at 2018-19 SP Authentic!

Oh, I didn't mean the value, I meant the actual signature. What is that scribble-scrabble? The kids these days have such awful penmanship

That's what I was referring to as well. I've seen a couple pre-rookie signatures and they're much, much nicer.

Oh, really? Huh. That's interesting. Maybe teams should start hiring penmanship coaches to help some of these guys improve (or even maintain!) their signatures.

That would require them to actual care about their penmanship though, and I think that's the real problem.





The mockups look interesting. I've thought the last few years Upper Deck has become too reliant on rookie autographs in all of their sets. Obviously the FWA are a huge draw. Rookie SOTT? Other than a handful of rookie, I would much rather see established (or retired) players. Same can be said for cards like Limited Logs in the The Cup.

The mockups look like they're moving towards a bigger stable of vets for the autoraph content. I think that's a good thing. Excited to see the checklist.
