Okay, just got this overnited from UD in Las Vegas. Exquisite Quad Logo 1/1 with Marino/Peyton/Young/Favre.
Yes, I know it is hand numbered rather than being machine stamped. There is a long story behind it and, rather than maybe never getting the card versus having it hand numbered, this was my best option.
Quick version is, UD cards are manufactured in Texas, MOST of them, other than the custom cards, which, according to Nick Leslie at UD, this is. This card was actually completed in Vegas and was to be machine stamped, but the stamp broke (5 months ago). They kept putting off getting a new stamp. They also would not send the card to the Texas facility for a stamp, sinc, and I love this, the Texas facility is NOT OWNED by UD!!! Did not want the card out of their hands because of its value and rarity (according to Nick). So, here it is and it ain't too shabby!!!
