Some of the earliest large-set/large-scale pack-pulled autograph sets were from Skybox. The 1997 Autographics set is a killer - beautiful photography, on-card autographs, god use of negative/white space for clean and bold autographs and a sweet high-end parallel version (Century Marks) with hand numbered variants to #/100. Emmitt Smith is arguably one of the best RBs of all-time and this is one of his top autographed cards.

While the first two years of the Skybox Autographics set are by FAR my favorites (1996-1998), they are all still cool. Rare but not so rare you couldn’t pull them and a big enough set list which included a ton of stars and great century marks parallels with all on-card autographs, it really changed the game!
