Vincent. . . has a number of Upper Deck "autograph" cards.
As of Friday, April 24, bids on several were as such:
LOT #1068 Cap Anson Upper Deck Signature Card ("1/2")_______BIDS: 12 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 2,250.00
LOT #1069 Ty Cobb Upper Deck Signature and Bat Card________BIDS: 11 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 1,100.00
LOT #1071 Honus Wagner Upper Deck Signature Card ("1/24")___BIDS: 5 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 500.00
LOT #1072 Jimmie Foxx Upper Deck Signature Card____________BIDS: 6 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 600.00
LOT #1075 Roger Maris Upper Deck Signature Card ("18/73")____BIDS: 7 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 700.00
LOT #1077 Mickey Mantle Upper Deck Signature Card ("6/8")____BIDS: 8 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 800.00
LOT #1080 Judge Landis Upper Deck Signature Card ("2/4")_____BIDS: 10 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 1,000.00
LOT #1081 Jimmie Foxx Upper Deck Signature Card ("11/16")____BIDS: 9 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 900.00
To me, several seem excessively priced. Full Cobb checks, and the rarer 3x5 and GPCs can occassionally be had for less than the current bid of $1,100. Yes, I understand that price is not purely for the autograph, but for an item with a "fabricated" scarcity. And some of the items seem reasonably priced, for the autograph cut they contain. Depends on your preference as a collector.
Just my two-cents worth.
Thanks.
