Signed cards
A photo of a Red Leader In Red 1 card with a large gold-ink signature was posted to the r/starwarsccg subreddit on 1 September 2025, beside cards signed by Justin Pakes and Kendrick Summers. One reply by The_Abjectator pointed to the Squadron Members list, which names Quesenberry as Red Leader; a reply by jbhelfrich named Kyle Heuer as a later Red Leader but said the signature did not fit that name.[9] The signature is attributed to Quesenberry (identification by comparison; see Talk).
