The removal of Autograph Stickers and Redemptions from Sports Card Products

To:  Remove Redemptions and Stickers from Sports Cards

As a signer, I hereby request that major card manufactures Donruss, Topps, Press Pass, & Upper Deck/Fleer remove all redemptions/exchange cards and sticker autographs from their products.
It has become a huge problem that autographs on these stickers have become pitiful and horrific.
1) Players that sign their names do not demonstrate the same signature on the sticker on the autograph contract and rush through them.
2) Stickers are signed and become smeared and are placed on the card "damaged".
3) Manufactures are placing the stickers upside down, on the wrong card, and even forgetting to place the stickers on the appropriate card(s).

Towards redemptions or exchange cards.. Manufactures place redemptions in packs to allow collectors to receive the card at a future date.
But..
1) The given date of return time on the redemptions is not always 100% accurate, as they can wait twice, three times and even four times past the date to receive the card.
2) Players sometimes do not sign the specified amount of stickers or cards themselves to be placed in the product... So the collector receives what is suppose to be a card of equal or greater value. These cards sometimes turn out to be false in regards of value and do not come from the same sport. This makes sets "incomplete" towards the collectors eyes
3) Manufactures send some redemptions out "not protected" and become crippled inside of their packaging. Collectors receive their card damage and sometimes destroyed while manufactures continue to send these out again as replacement cards to other collectors.
4) Companies have also had problems with employees sending the wrong cards as redemptions adding onto the time of wait.

Therefore, if a person, player, whoever can not sign the card "on it" not on a sticker, by a certain time in advance, they should not be placed in the product at all with a redemption and without sticker autographs that look pathetic or damaged as stated above.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
