Anyone familiar with cards from Theautographcard? Found an auto ara parseghian FC01 from 2009, but not finding it in here or anywhere else for that matter. Not letting me upload the pic I have, but its a pic of a football that has an auto on the ball...ara parseghian CFOF 1980, back has lines to fill in, but there are no entries on the lines that were perhaps supposed to be filled in by card company???

Looks like they sell blank cards for in-person autographing.

Wow! Didnt even dawn on me that they might be "homemade", no wonder i couldn't find any info on them, or have never seen it before.

$10.00 per blank card + $4.00+ sh. No auto, no licensing fee... As long as they find buyers, it looks like a lucrative business.

I've bought some of these for IP graphing. They are great... nice quality, thick stock. The price was better than I found it would have been to create and print something similar at home.

Only downside of them is that some people flat out refuse to sign them, especially the baseball ones. They don't like signing "blank" items (and I guess the white portion of the baseball sweet spot or home plate designs qualify to them as "blank". (Maybe if they signed bigger, their signature wouldn't be confined to the white area? IDK.)

At any rate, good product for IP graphing. Haven't tried them for TTM.

It's $10 for a pack of 25. Still a bit pricey.

That's actually a really cool concept. On the few rare occasions I've gotten autographs in person, I've used the blank white pack feeler decoys. They ones with the brown cardstock is GREAT for signing. 

I'm glad I saved all of them over the years. 

40 cents a card isn't so bad if you are trying to maximize your potential for IP autographs... for baseball, it's cheaper than buying a baseball (especially if you like sweet spot autographs) or often trying to find cards of some minor league players.

The cards that look like a baseball also work well for other people you might run into here and there... celebrities, musicians, etc.
