Panini Continues To Fail At Hard Signed Cards

A few weeks ago, Panini announced that they would be going back to hard signed cards for 2009 Playoff Contenders. A few minutes ago, we saw the results of their ventures. Needless to say, ill let the pictures speak for themselves.



From the looks of the cards, we are still going to be getting mirrored-boarded abominations, even though they are NOTORIOUS for being impossible to sign on. Even if the cards turn out to be on normal card stock, the pens they used look like borderline ballpoints. Bubbly ink, lack of fluidity, everything one would expect from a fucking amateur.

On top of this, you get a design where the words 2009 ROOKIE invades your view, and provides absolutely no place for a player to sign without hiding the sig among the gigantor letters.

Total and epic FAIL.

  1. Are these just mock-ups? or actual cards? Hope would be that they notice how; A)those cards can give kids seizures, and B)you just used 2 linemen to advertise set.

  2. Just wait until you see the sticker auto versions for the non-RPS guys. Those look even worse...

    Looks like SPA will continue to be the RC everyone wants. Ordered another 2 cases after seeing these POS cards.

  4. That looks likes a kid got an in person auto with a ballpoint pen. Never mind the design. Do manufacturers do mock ups and sign them to see how they look before they give the go ahead?

  7. Ballpoint pen for the auto? I would rather have a sticker auto using a sharpie than this crap. Is it time for SP authentic yet? lol...
