Posted By: <b>Jamie</b><p>How rare is a Cap Anson signed baseball card?.. granted this is an insert and not a preware card of his... but still I have never seen an auto card from him before... anyone have any Anson Auto's they could post about.. I am also curious as to price you might have paid for yours as I am thinking about scooping up this treasure..<br>jamie<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>Anson on a cut is maybe $1200-$2000 depending on condition, whereas a nice letter or something is somewhere between $2500-$4000 or so. While there has never really been any consistancy among the authenticators on this regard, many of the Anson signatures while he was Clerk were secretarial signed. <br><br>Rhys

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>There won't be more than a few of these Anson cards. Much rarer than the Ruths and Cobbs versions.

Posted By: <b>Brett</b><p>I could be wrong, but I seem to recall a Legendary Cuts Cap Anson being sold on ebay for something like $7-$10,000 a long time ago. That was when those cat autographed cards were selling for ridiculous amounts of money.

Posted By: <b>Vincent</b><p>. . . has a number of Upper Deck &quot;autograph&quot; cards. <br>As of Friday, April 24, bids on several were as such:<br><br> LOT #1068 Cap Anson Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;1/2&quot;)_______BIDS: 12 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 2,250.00<br> LOT #1069 Ty Cobb Upper Deck Signature and Bat Card________BIDS: 11 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 1,100.00<br> LOT #1071 Honus Wagner Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;1/24&quot;)___BIDS: 5 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 500.00<br> LOT #1072 Jimmie Foxx Upper Deck Signature Card____________BIDS: 6 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 600.00<br> LOT #1075 Roger Maris Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;18/73&quot;)____BIDS: 7 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 700.00<br> LOT #1077 Mickey Mantle Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;6/8&quot;)____BIDS: 8 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 800.00<br> LOT #1080 Judge Landis Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;2/4&quot;)_____BIDS: 10 ___ CURRENT BID: $ 1,000.00<br> LOT #1081 Jimmie Foxx Upper Deck Signature Card (&quot;11/16&quot;)____BIDS: 9 ____ CURRENT BID: $ 900.00<br> <br>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 &quot;fabricated&quot; scarcity. And some of the items seem reasonably priced, for the autograph cut they contain. Depends on your preference as a collector.<br><br>Just my two-cents worth.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Their market values are that they are viewed as autographs and baseball cards, not just autographs. At the least, this attracts card collectors who don't ordinarily collect autographs.

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>I hate the way that a significant portion of the autos get cut off. It looks as if they did not carve out a big enough window to &quot;display&quot; the autograph within the card. Some are better executed than others, but there are very few of these which I prefer to just the autographs themselves.<br><br>To each his own, I suppose...

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>They cut up items like Hall of Fame Postcards and signed photos sometimes too...I have even seen a Perez Steele or two. That makes no sense at all...aren't there enough George Kelly cut or 3x5 autographs out there that you don't have to destroy a postcard that other people collect?
