An un-cut press sheet with foil stamped signatures
(Personally Autographed by Pedro Sierra)
The remaining press sheets were carted to another press where they were stamped revealing our NLB Living Legends signatures in black foil. As this process came to a conclusion we pulled an additional 1000 sheets. These full size press sheets display all of the cards with black foil signatures stamped on them and the calibration color bars.
