All the beautiful autographs- NOT!
I wonder if they are ever going to do away with sticker autographs? I mean, if a player from today died, there would be autos of him in products until 3008. And they'd be no different than if he were alive. They wouldn't even have to go to cuts. I wonder how many stickers are sitting in storage?

You make a good point. Stickers in my mind will significantly lower the rarity and value of autographs in the future

I'd like to see how it effects smudging/fading etc. in the near future.

Cut autos of guys that aren't dead drive me nuts.

I'd rather have a cut Sammy Baugh or Muhammad Ali signed 30 years ago than one they signed last year!

I suppose I could find exceptions to my rule.
But a Brett Favre cut auto? Why? And why do all of these look like they are from the same paper? So Donruss sends these guys paper instead of stickers, gets them back, cuts them up and calls them cut autos?

I can see your point. But also consider the flip side. Perhaps the card companies don't send the athlete 30,000 stickers at once. Perhaps they know they're going to make a card /50 so they send the guy 50 stickers.
Either way, I think it has to do with the companies not wanting to shell out shipping. Think about it. It'd be much cheaper to send a sheet of 1,270 stickers than it would be to send 1,270 cards.
They really don't do cuts of just anybody. In 50 years you may find cuts of guys like Glavine, Maddux, Clemens, Pujols, etc. But let's face it. The era of Musial, Brock, Gibson, Sutter, Jenkins, Seaver, etc aren't with us anymore.
