Seems to me that the card should be tailored to the signature, not vice versa.

As for wardrobe cards, I do appreciate the 'democratizing' effect of them. I don't take pleasure knowing that some rich guy has a piece of clothing in his den: honestly, who cares? I know I will never, ever own a Bruce Lee 'gamer' so I was pleased to get something I could actually own:



I also bought one of those Lefty O'Doul jersey booklet cards that Panini made. I get to have a piece of a Lefty O'Doul uniform that I would never otherwise own.

Unfortunately, most of the cut cards the manufacturer makes are lazy efforts to cram a cut into a misshapen opening. They rarely work out as well as they should.
I bought a Kluzsewski booklet, auto and bat relic. It is nice. They display well. But for every good one, it seems there is also a poorly made one. I just always imagined these would be handmade with pride. But with every bad one, it appears there made without pride.
