OT: 1954 Topps Signed Howie Fox. Does One Exist?

Rich Klein · #1 03-11-2011, 04:52 AM

to say that card exists.

Given 2 years opportunity, someone should have gotten a signed 54 Topps, even in those days ---

However, I would wager than perhaps less than 10 still exist and may be available. I would check with some dealers such as Keating and Simon to see if they have ever handled such a card

*BUMP* I checked with Phillip Marks and he vaguely remembers one. How much would you guesstimate one would be valued at?

Just looking around on the internet it looks like his auto goes for about $100-$200...what's the multiplier for having the auto on a baseball card? I'd say you'd be looking at $250 or better if you could find one.

a few 52's have sold for roughly 750

Dan - I think your a bit low and would guess it's at least $700-$1000.

I don't know autographs that well, but it seems even though he died in 1955 his autograph is not rare...I was just guessing.

Dan, there are other factors involved then just the autograph itself. People collect the various Topps sets (or team sets from the set itself) autographed and obviously if anyone tries to get the 1954 set they need this card--thus the MUCH higher price tag. Similar players with high price tags are the likes of Jim Umbricht, Ken Hubbs, Walt Bond, etc. You would be surprised what some will pay for a seemingly obscure auto on a Topps card.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Rhett - I agree completely. I have a '60 autographed Topps Yankees team set. a PSA/DNA Duke Maas set me back nearly $1k.
