My son and I love the show and I was looking forward to getting some autographs but I have a sever problem with the one inch head-shot on the card. I believe this has been a regular thing for Cryptozoic autographs and I have decided not to purchase these cards and the cards from The Flash because of it. I would like to hear what others think.

I can't say I'm that bothered by this. It's when they use loads of dark headshots that I get a bit put off. I'm much more concerned with a nice card design and a decent, clear area for the signature.

I also like a larger picture, I prefer the full bleed type of autograph card in general. However that is purely a visual preference on my part. In terms of the Cryptozoic autograph card design however, I find it hard to find much fault.
It is easy to argue that the most important part of a certified autograph card, besides the authentication, is the autograph itself. These signatures are on card. Right there you are head and shoulders above stickers. The small photo allows more space for big signatures. Isn't that what you want most, no squeezed in autographs? Sure it looks worse when you get initials or chicken scratch, but that's not the card's fault.
I think these Legend autographs are very attractive, even with the little head shots. The main thing for me is that an autograph card is bright and does not have some background that doesn't allow the signature to stand out or restricts its size. Anything that isn't a sticker gets extra points right there.

Depending how one views it, this could be the first set from CZE that actually feels complete. No missing lead character from the autograph line-up. I will probably dip in for specific autograph cards though; too many low value cards as a hit in CZE boxes to buy any of those. I've been burned too many times with incomplete base or chase sets, and a low value autograph card that doesn't even pay for the box.
I don't have deep enough pockets to gamble on CZE boxes much these days. Having bought autograph cards from some of the other DC shows I'm happy to just buy the handful of cards I'm interested in from this set. It does look nice, though.
