I know that this has been on tap for a while but it's the first time I have seen them working. What do you all think?

I think it's kind of cool to see a video of someone signing a card but..I think I still prefer the old fashioned autograph card that just has a nice big photo of the player/celebrity and a signature.

This brings up that old when does a card stop being a card discussion.

Didn't we talk about this earlier:

Upper Deck's New Video Cards

There was talk about the Panini cards in that thread too. Or are these different?

It's a cool video though. Thanks for posting it Chris.

What happens when the battery runs out? Looks like you can hook up a USB Camera type cord to the side. Can you download the image to your Computer?

I don't see this tech as a threat, I see it as attempt to make it a little more interesting. The market {us} will determine if it flies or not.

I've even said before, in another post, if they can make it slimmer, and they will, it would be great to have card #1 of any set with the opening theme/sequence in it. {e.g.: Stat Trek. "Space the Final Frontier..."}.

good way to proof the autograph is authentic
