With Panini - Death Of Lebron and Jordan Autos?

[GreenbaumSports]

Because of their exclusive contract with UD, will there be no more Jordan and Lebron auto cards? Just wondering if this has been discussed.

Well UD is still making cards next year, they just arent officially licensed NBA cards. But as long as Jordan and Lebron continue their contract with UD, Panini won't be able to make their autos. Jordan will 99% not sign for Panini because he is on the board of directors for Upper Deck.

I don't think UD will make cards like below but reminds me college brand in 90's lol

(..)These are not college brand cards but they were the same as these.

without team logo


or like these

If no autos of those two are made, expect a big demand and increase in price for those autos

Wait what about Topps stuff though?

I cannot see this Panini thing lasting long if that's the case unless they have crazy amazing stuff.

I'm kinda glad, there's already enough of them out there.

I am expecting something like 03/04 UD Top Prospects to come from them since they wont officially be lisenced by the NBA. I loved that set so if they make something like it expect me to buy it.

i think we need a break from lebron kobe and jordan autos, i dont want there to be too many out there.

Ud will sneak their auto's in other products like baseball. For example Ud baseball has FB gu's like Brett Farve and other sport atheletes. So Im sure MJ and Lebron auto's and GU's will be in baseball products.
