Nice cards Jon. That card has grown on me over the years. For my project, I can remember a few years ago seeing signed ones go for $800-1,100, occasionally as high as $1,200-1,400, and I just never pulled the trigger. Now, one just sold in the last REA for $3,500.

I hope that assessment is correct. It just sold for $211.50 to someone outbidding 9 other bidders.

I completely agree. But that less than 1% chance is fun to consider.

Yeah, the card size with those images doesn't feel right.

Thank you, sir. I was watching that same REA signed card but couldn't stretch that high. Beautiful card. Maybe some day.

Should we just call all such fantasy cards designed to look old "Helmars" from now on? They seem to have defined these types of cards. ;)

Nope. there are a bunch of others that sell regularly on eBay: Banty Red, Aceo, etc. Can't even really call them Broders anymore since there are more post-Broder cards than Broders.

Just got this back from PSA. I don't know how the centering and overall eye appeal didn't at least earn it a 2.5, but there you go.

That's unreal. Spider crease?

What an outstanding example. I am confident most collectors would be very proud to have that “2” in their collection.

Thanks Matthew, this collector definitely is. :)

And Howard, there is a wrinkle running over his name. I bought the card raw from an old fellow in a parking lot, and I would hardly have noticed it if I hadn't brought my magnifying glass with me! Still, just great eye appeal and it's for my PC so the grade isn't all that important.

Beautiful Bowman, Jarrod.

Here's my Exhibits 1948 team card, inspired by this thread. Just back from SGC.

Love seeing Doby and Satchel in there. Great looking card, Lucas!

My only Satch. Would still like to get this crossed over but will probably have to wait a while:
