I will preface this by saying I have a card like this....just can't locate it at the moment so apologies for the lack of image of my card.
I have a Frank Tanana autographed card. It is one of those that players "produce themselves" to use for autograph requests, many of which have religious or inspirational messages on the back. This is not mine, nor is it the same card, but you get the idea...
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Frank-Tanana-authentic-signed-autographed-trading-card-COA/182318150663?hash=item2a73023407:g:zbAAAOSwPCVYBXz5
What do you think would be the best way to list cards like these, Frank Tanana is not the only one who produces them. Making a blanket "Athlete Produced Autograph Cards" set to me would be problamatic for search reasons. Any ideas out there?

this one in particular would be more of pamphlet, but if it's a series of them then I can see them setup under The Goal.com, but only if there's a series of them like the '92 Athletes in Action cards. I know we have booklets listed, so to me it depends on if there's a checklist to go with it.

They are promo cards, but year of production is an issue as they often lack copyright info. When they do have the info, they are usually added as single-card promo "sets".

The one inthe linked auction wasn't a booklet - the front is vertical, back is horizontal, and the third image is of a COA (separate card).

Being a Tanana collector the pamphlet interests me, but it seems overpriced. This has nothing to do with your question. Just hijacking the thread.

I can't tell from the ebay link if they're cards or pamphlets. If you do list them, you can't upload autographed images. The cards weren't issued autographed. The player adds that upon request.

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

The second image has a fold down the middle. These very well could be folded cards/pamphlets.

Found another card image of a TheGoal.com card. They look like folded "pamphlets".

Like I said, mine isn't a 'The Goal' pamphlet card. It is an actual card, but this 'The Goal' stuff actually intrigues me now. Did they approach athletes or do the athletes approach them with a request?
Crap now I gotta re double my efforts to find the one I got. Going to bug me now what I have exactly.

Isn't that the Athletes in Action logo?
