Now part of the problem is Ricky Rubio's auto, but the card would be a massive failure to anybody who pulled it.
Now, the only reason I found this card is because once in a while, I'll punch in Ricky Rubio's name into ebay just to see what his stuff is doing. There's still a huge market for the guy. I'm only mildly curious in the "point and laugh" sense, though. I really did point and laugh when Minnesota drafted like six points guards in this year's draft. And then Rubio told them he'd rather play in Europe than come play for the clowns running the T'wolves. Ouch.
In any event, it just goes to show that an on-card auto can be botched too. Just another reminder why buying high-end is just not worth the risk.
I plunked down $40 on a box of cards and got a non-numbered, sticker auto from a great rookie. And in the end, I feel better about my menial pull than the guy selling this card on ebay feels about his. The cards price? $100. For a guy not playing in the NBA. For a guy with no time-table for playing in the NBA. Good luck with that auction.

I actually like his signature. They might as well have just made the whole card blank and called the set Upper Deck White. Then they could have 10 different Ricky Rubio signatures marked 1/1 because each signature is so unique.
The auto is unique. What I was trying to say is that his auto doesn't really take up a lot of room. It's not a throw away auto, but it definetely doesn't fit in this setting.
I gotcha. I think it's crazy that a company can charge that much for a half blank piece of cardboard. On a different subject, it would be an awesome idea to have a set made up of NBA associated Euro League players past and present. hmmm.
