Normally, I'm a pretty easy going guy... not much upsets me. Today's Cowboys "effort" not withstanding...But this really chokes me. You buy a box of cards. Pay an abnormal amount for S+H (that's a subject for another post) Get it home, and start to crack it open.
You're supposed to get "x" number of hits. Two packs into your box break, you find a hit. It's a rookie auto!!!

Now this product was released in November of 2006. Five full months after DonTrell had been cut. You have players in your set who are not even playing the game anymore... But why would you have undrafted free agent autos in the first place????? He's never played a game. Never suited up for a game. He's not even good enough for the practice squad.
the rest of this box had best be stellar....

Well, that's truly irritating. Just hearing about it. Let us know what else happens soon, please.
I have no idea why they ever bother to have these guys sign these cards. That looks like an on card auto, so it took some time and expense.
For the money, they could have had one or two or three or all of the first two rounds sign an extra 200 copies of their card.
Donruss and Leaf products are the biggest offenders of this the last two years.
On the bright side - those two letters he writes look quite nice. Not sure what happened to the rest of the name though.
