Their products have become so non-compelling that even in despite of the lack of any meaningful competition they still have to have these "gimmick" cards to sell it. IMO

It's actually come full circle in a way: Originally, kids bought packs to get the bubble gum, and would flip, thumbtack, or subject to their spokes the rest of the cards in the pack. Now, they buy packs for the insert, and still could pretty much care less about the base cards in the pack. It's just that now, the "inserts" are slightly less edible

I would still like to know if the autographs are truly trimmed or just covered by the matte.

Fair question. if trimmed, as many of us suspect, its a travesty, as we have all said.

John - if you truly would like to know then there is only one way to find out.
