I have a question on the UD Battlefield Earth autograph cards from Upper Deck...

Were the autos live in box or by redemption?

I'm asking for 2 reasons, first being I have 2 to sell.

Second being on eBay I have a very sincere but annoying individual insisting the autos were by redemption and thus not available in the box.

Now, I assume he is mistaken for 2 reasons:

Jeff Allender's site does not list them as "by redemption" or a redemption card in the set. And while not foolproof, Jeff's site is pretty authoritative.

On eBay there are NO redemption cards. If they were by redemption, I would assume expired redemptions would show up now and then, I see none. Again, not foolproof but redemptions are collectable so if the autos were not available I would assume someone would try to sell one.

OK Hive Mind, and those that opened this product, redemption or live autos?

My memory is that the actual autograph cards were included in packs. I never pulled one, although I tried to, from clearance boxes anyway. A John Travolta autograph card was a big deal back then, even if it showed him in terrible makeup from an awful movie. Add in Forest Whitaker and a then-popular Barry Pepper for one of the stronger autograph rosters from a card set to that point, certainly.

I did a quick search on the forum, and found a thread called top 10 pulls from sealed boxes from 2008, and someone posted that they pulled a Travolta auto from a box. Don't know if that might help a little?
