I cant get into press pass

Seriously? I frickin love PP. They're cheap, with on card sigs and some variations for fun. It's one of my favourite releases every year. There's not a single sticker auto product that I'd trade for a press pass auto similarly numbered. Honestly, because press pass is so reasonably priced on the secondary market, and because hard sigs are getting tougher to find (only SPA, National Treasures and Exquisite offered hard (on card) autos), I think PP is one of the few releases that might really spike in value in a few years.

What even adds to the appeal is that it's released right before the draft so you can hit the ground running on a new bunch of rookies' autos.

A lot of great players only certified sig is on a Press Pass card

case in point...




but yeah, all pimping aside if you don't like em... you don't like em. That's too bad.

They're maybe my favourite cards.

Like tb says they're a nice clean card with no sticker & they're out right after the draft. It may be the only chance you get to snag a cheap card of a future star.

Once a player gets game time his cards go through the roof.

Shoot, the new rookies now go for $300. And that is just not fair. Nobody wants to buy cards at that value only to have 90% of them fall flat. Press Pass is the only place to get something cheap. And I too like the fact they are hand signed. That will help their value later on as production moves to cheaper and faster methods like the sticker.

I'm not a big fan of the CJ cards yet, but I am hopeful that some nices ones will get released soon. We should be able to get him in cheap range as he is not high profile.
