They probably purchased the sticker autos from Leaf.

Wonder what the wording on the back of the cards say about where these autos were signed.

Like most of the stuff on the back of cards...a crock of sh!t

Sweet patches!

They are signed on Panini stickers though?

it bugs me that we are no longer in his rookie year, and they release a whole new bunch of RC's for him just because its using those designs. Poorly executed. The list of boxes available to use as points arent all the greatest sellers - seems like a sales promotion to clear tones of stock they were expecting would move better.

 

[West Oz Cards]

Yep, that's all it is. You'll notice the products that move units well on their own are not included in this promotion.

I was thinking about a case or two of the signatures to try my luck for a Kemp 1/1 (I'm sure there's atleast 5 not even busted yet)

This gives the smallest bit more inclination to do it. But for a Lillard STICKER auto that would probably only fetch $250, meh.

Even if you only got one case of Signatures you are still 120 points from a Lillard

 

[nichj99]

Pretty much sums up their sales strategy on how to move old stock...

Yeah I know, It'd have to be 2 cases. So, thats close to USD $2000.

Think I'll get the Malibu Stacey with new hat.

Nope, they did a deal with Leaf where he could only sign a small number of on card autos and sign a limited number of Stickers (Panini stickers).

I have no issue with releasing these cards however I think they could have done the actual distribution better than having to buy slow moving stock for a chance at them. I guess thats the hook they have to use to move the slow selling stock.

So I'm guessing the on card autos are the 50 ones from the Flawless product. (and it had plenty of sticker autos too)

The Crown Royal silhouettes should be o/c !

Correct. The Flawless on card autos were always part of the release however one of the patch autos in Flawless which is a sticker was a late addition in the set.
