Gehrig Ruth Auto
Well if it was on a regular piece of paper, I would say $6-7000----but this is from a card company and alot of true autograph collectors hate these things----but it is a 1of1--according to the card company---I would say in that world of card autos---maybe $8-9000----just my opinion--good luck, Don

If you want a Ruth-Gehrig autograph on an album page, index card or whatever you can certainly get it for less than $14K.
I have NEVER been a fan of this type of card and think that just because a card company calls it a 1/1 it does not make it special.

The sad realization is that even though the signature gets less out of the slab, it will hit market with a premium since it is from a product. I don't personally understand it myself but I've spoken with several collectors and some say it is the chase, being able to say you own the cards on the front of a box or the big hits in a product... To be objective I get it, I don't agree with it... And with that said, I know nothing of the value and will not chime in on that.

Go to a Michael's and buy a card. Cut a hole in it and put in any autograph you want. Number it one of one and enjoy. If it is really nice I might buy it.

its not a chase card. it was sent in and was encapulated . leaf has a programe ware you can take any cut signature and have incased and certifed by JSA or PSA DNA. The signatures look to be in mint condition. what is a good price to pay for this considering the sigs are in very nice shape

Take what it would cost to buy the cut, add in the cost to have Leaf turn it into a card, and that's your value, because you could do the same thing yourself. You might have to wait until the next year to do so, since I think they have a limit on 1 of each signature or signature combo per year to maintain the "1 of 1" status, but it's not like this is the only Ruth/Gehrig cut that will find its way into a card ever. Based on what the others are saying, if you can get the cut for $7k, paying another $7k to have it in a card seems like a very high premium. Personally, I'd rather have two Ruth/Gehrig cuts than 1 in a card/slab

Do you really think that the services rendered by this Leaf deal are worth $7K? Man I would rather buy some swamp land in Florida
