Presidential Cut Signatures

It is believed that these cards were supposed to be included in an American History-themed product which was never produced. Each card is hand-numbered to the production figures listed below. Many collectors were somewhat dismayed to discover that Upper Deck actually put the numbering on the cut itself, and not on the card.

Combo Cuts

Each Combo Cut is a one-of-one.
