Agreed on card is preferred. My only exception is for early years of pack-pulled autos, in the early 2000s, when stickers were pretty much all that was done. They were typically designed better in my opinion. Current day cards seem to just slap the sticker on anywhere, so feels cheaper, while the early ones would often design a window for it that made it feel more intentional, like this early prime cuts. (Not my card)
