My 2 Lloyd Ambassador cards

mike666 · Dec 2, 2013

It is my understanding that Select often offer the players different thickness pens. Obviously Lloyd goes with the thick ones. Damn it.(as an Essendon supporter)

Yeah it's a shame. Lloydy has a complicated enough signature as it is. For it to be illegible as well only rubs salt into the wound.

Would probably look nice if he signed with a thinner pen.

He's signed quite a few times going all the way back to 1999.

Are any of his signatures signed with a neater pen?

It wouldn't be that old as Juddy is in a Carlton jumper, so it would have to be at least 2008 and beyond.

However Mike you just made a very interesting observation.

All 3 players were Select representatives around those years.

Well spotted. I didnt really take much notice of the card. So Judd is in Carlton. Off course. Remember the Scanlens/Select came out in 07 yet said 03 on the back. Bet they have plenty of other "special stuff". cha...ching.....

I like the card. As far as the only theme of it being 3 future hall of famers signing on the one card, this isn't something Select have done often, and I think some player/high end collectors would like it in their collection. Obviously it's not for everyone though.

snaffled of ebay. perhaps someone has said something. Newest one is Essendon 140 year set. Looks a bit better.

As long as they stayed away from Nic Nat in 09 i should be fine.

As so many others have mentioned, if it had been a special card with some kind of relevance and perhaps a few players that haven't signed everything from Destiny signatures, Coleman signatures, triple crown signatures, leigh matthews mvp signatures, draft pick signatures, spx draft pick signatures, brownlow signatures, captain signatures, herald sun signatures, heralds sun signatures......more herald sun signatures.

I'd call it a wasted opportunity but Select are only thinking financially, so as a matter of fact from their perspective it was a opportunity seized upon.

It's only reason for existing is financial, if it holds some connection to the game or some significance to the hobby that i am missing i would love someone to point it out to me.

All 3 are premiership players so that could have been a theme. But Judd is in Carlton colours.

All 3 were captains so that could have been a theme but they did captain signatures so that doesn't work.

So what exactly is the theme?

Oh right, Tri Star.

Entrance theme?

You know not that this is what you were getting at but i'd be up for a tri star signature of RZA, Ol Dirty Bastard and Method man.

It would beat this.

I wonder what other uninspiring tri star signatures would still be more interesting than Selects effort?

Rudd
Gillard
Swann

Put me down for three.

How about a Graham/BillyHoyle/Quicksilver/Matt26 quad auto?

I guarantee the value of the cardboard its printed on would go down in value with our signatures on it!

Where do i sign up?

Can i order more than one, Select won't let me.

If your Quad Mod Cards are made with the quality of those jumper swans cards then i'm already in front.

Do me a favour though and pick something other than "jocks" for the special material.

Perhaps you could just do a crappy sticker or transfer patch like Select of the OCT logo.

They seem to get by with such lofty standards and after all we are scum, we only deserve transfers, not even your dirty jocks.

The difference in quality between transfers and your jocks would be too good and Select would be forced to make your sack enter into an agreement if you ever wish for them to play "ball" again.

Remember they don't play nice with others.

Sadly i think we are stuck with their Sub Par signa... sorry Tri Star signature.

However i shall forever dream of the Quad Mod signature that may have been.

What does Quicksilver wear to bed?

Now i shall never know.

I know people will say its sour grapes as port dont have one but i really dont like the design much at all.
A weird choice of players
and just think its ugly. I can see how people think it was done ages ago as in my opinion such a high value card shouldnt be signed with thick black pens.
There last release with gold sigs and red etc looks a million times better and i believe if the card was made today they would have chosen a different pen!!

Why do i get the feeling this card was made years ago.

Perhaps when all 3 signed captain signatures in 2009.

Funny enough the pen Lloyd used at the time to sign the captain sigs was just as
