I obviously am a fan of these non-"core4" sports autographs being included in products.<br /><br />But... there's a place for everything. I'm glad that both Topps and UD limit the number of products they insert this stuff into like Goodwin, A&G, and All-Time Greats Sports Edition.<br /><br />I would be strongly against Topps inserting autographs of surfers into their 2013 products.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-55786719169995411882012-10-02T07:09:41.317-07:002012-10-02T07:09:41.317-07:00I haven't bought an Upper Deck product (exclud...I haven't bought an Upper Deck product (excluding singles) in a while and I've never even bought a pack of Goodwin so I'll try to approach this question by replacing UD with Topps and Goodwin Champions with Allen & Ginter.<br />Anyway, I'm more supportive of those kind of autos being included. Since well the positives are that if you hit them they could get you a pretty penny from fans of whatever sport the guy/gal plays, they could be an auto of someone you just genuinely want an auto of (I still want a Tony Hawk auto from A&G '10 lol), they'll save you trouble of grieving the fact that you bought a box only pull an auto of Marlon Byrd (or someone like him) and they could introduce you to a whole new world in sports. One that's different from the "core 4" that dominate ESPN.<br />Only negative for me is that I'm bummed out at first that I didn't get an auto of a baseball player. Although the thought of pulling a Marlon Byrd auto saves me 5 seconds later.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-14002634345951771682012-10-02T05:42:29.298-07:002012-10-02T05:42:29.298-07:00I was a huge fan of Derek Ho back in the day.

He was definitely a favorite of many of my relatives, so I jumped on the bandwagon.<br /><br />I never really thought about the whole licensing issue. These types of cards are a great solution, since they don't really need logos to be successful. Kudos to UD. I'll have to look for the All-Time Greats auto... but will probably hold off for the Goodwin, to keep the theme going.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-2367864177718229932012-10-02T03:26:48.955-07:002012-10-02T03:26:48.955-07:00I grew up surfing, the Ho brothers were among my f...I grew up surfing, the Ho brothers were among my favorites, mainly Derek, because they were hitting it big around the time I got in to surfing.<br /><br />I like that Upper Deck is looking to additional options when it comes to creating sets, I know this was a forced hand because they lost the licensing, but it shows that they can continue to thrive going away from the traditional sports. Given that if they had the major sports licenses I am sure we would be seeing less sets like Goodwin but for now I like that they are thinking outside the box (I so dislike that "buzz" term).<br /><br />Slater signed for the 2012 UD All-Time Greats Sports Edition release, it is a pretty cool looking booklet card with an on-card auto. They added a manu-patch but it still looks decent.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344136023470368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-65593370638971406222012-10-01T22:08:06.586-07:002012-10-01T22:08:06.586-07:00Lol... maybe I'll send Flannery that card and ...Lol... maybe I'll send Flannery that card and add it to this PC.<br /><br />Btw...

Love North Shore...I have no problem with UD putting whoever (whomever?)they want into their sets. <br /><br />It's not a product targeted at what I collect, but seeing some different faces and autographs is always fun.<br /><br />Slightly off topic, "The Wave" by Susan Casey has some great chapters on big wave surfers especially Laird Hamilton.
