Opinions Wanted: 1968 #400 auto.

[riggs336]

I put my 1968 Topps set together about 30 years ago. A few months ago I was looking through the binder I had the cards in and found this one. I sent it in to have it graded and here is how it came back.
My question is: do any of the experts on this forum have an idea as to rarity and/or value? I apologize for the image. Clearly I don't know what I am doing regarding posting scans.

in my opinion, for the penny or so it is worth, white letter McCormick is far tougher than Yellow Letter Brinkman or Cox.

I've owned more than a dozen of Brinkman and Cox and maybe 3 McCormicks in my life

PSA has graded 129 of the white letter variation of this card, unsigned, Beckett has graded 3 more. Your autographed version is the first to be given a number grade, the other two PSA has seen are both graded Authentic. I'm not sure the autograph improves the resale value that much, as most set collectors would rather have it unsigned.

Not even going to attempt to look for the Pop in SGC because I don't believe their pop report has any from their previous site integrated yet.

Edit: Oh, and in order to make only the card show up, you'll need to edit your scan on your computer (either by scanning a smaller area or by cropping the image in a photo program afterwards) before you upload it to the website.

Oh, and according to Baseball-reference.com, McCormick is still alive at 80. So if it is worth more with the auto, they can still be accomplished.

Nice looking card and auto Otis

While the McCormick is a true variation to the set I tend to think that if the yellow Cox and Brinkman, which are cards from the Milton Bradley game set, are viewed as variations to the base set, all of the Milton Bradley cards should also qualify as such.

Thanks to all for the input. I guess if I can find someone building an autographed 1968 set, I'll have a really desirable card :)

Is this one of the Milton Bradley issue color changes? Or is it a true 1968 pack-issued variation?

It's a true variation. Cox and Brinkman are MB color variations. McCormick #400 wasn't part of the MB printing.

I want to buy it
