Year: 1998

Set: SAGE - Autographs Bronze (Rate)

Card: #A41 Jeff Sheppard


“ At least the scan is great. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Terrible. And that uniform on the back is terrible too. ” -muskie027

“ I may be in the minority here. I always liked the SAGE college cards. I have several in my collection, but mostly football. The only thing I wish is that the autographed holograms weren’t so busy with the authentication jargon. ” -jmurph8081

“ Interesting card. Not well done, but interesting. ” -parsley24

“ As much as I like autograph cards I really hate these hologram stikcers they use for some of these autos. It sort of looks like a "bubble wrap" artifact relic card, but it is an autograph on an ugly reflective surface that doesn't scan well. ” -captkirk42

“ Man, those shorts with the stripes on the back on hideous. ” -vanstryland

“ It was nice having Sage produce basketball cards while they lasted . . . The biggest plus is the desire to produce something nice that was not constricted to designs of the past - perhaps that is due to the experience SAGE's founders had while working for Upper Deck. The back of the Autographs Bronze set looks like it could be the front, distinguishing it from the main set, which focused on the top collegiate players who were drafted. All in all, it's a nice card for those who prefer photos to text. ” -georgecf

“ Don't remember the set but this looks like an early 90's set that I collected back when I collected basketball cards except that one was grey if memory serves me correctly. I don't like the silver sticker, makes it look cheap. Sadly I like the back better than the front and think it would have made a better front. ” -davidhandberry

“ This is a terrible card. Can barely read the signature and the card design is bleh. ” -Athletics37

“ Back looks like a front...and is better than the actual front. ” -rmpaq5

The back design WAS the front...of the base card. Other than looking kind of like a hula skirt, the short are the best part of the card, IMO.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I agree the signature is difficult to read due to the big "football-shaped" background which totally overtakes the front of the card. The back does look better and I don't really have anything against the shorts ! smiley
