Yes. My answer, as a card collector, is yes. If I were an autograph collector, I might think it was the coolest card ever though. At the same time, I think the consensus among many autograph collectors is that a single-signed item is more desirable than something like this.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

that is absoultly crazy.. even the 8 auto booklet sometimes goes for insane prices, i can't even imagine if an investor gets his hands on that and the sadder thing about it is, i bet its all laser autographed?? the coolest thing i have that has multiple auto's is a Teddy Bear signed by about 15 or so late '70's-80's Flyers that they actually signed at a charity event.

To me they're not one card, they're a booklet of cards. They took a bunch of separate cards and attached them together. To me that doesn't make them a single card. I'd list each card of the booklet separately as a "page"; using the "a, b, c, d, etc" like we use for VARs and jersey name letters.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

At least it isn’t one of those autograph book covers full of autos. I’ve seen those before and it looks like a kindergartener scribbled all over it.

that would be a thick booklet to have 50 auto. The one in the scan has 10. or 20 if both sides. it looks like they have many different types with lots of auto's
