Autographs

Emerald Autographs

Randomly inserted into packs at the rate of one in 20 boxes were Emerald Autograph Exchange cards good for an on-card autograph of the player depicted. The autographed cards parallel the corresponding basic cards except of course for the signature on front, coupled with special emerald foil and an embossed Fleer/SkyBox stamp. In addition, the area used for the card number on back of the regular issue card is replaced by a logo stating "Certified Emerald Autograph."
